AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 1 8
For Meeting Of 2/4/97,
ITEM TITLE: An Ordinance relating to City Administration, changing the police
,department service fees, and amending Section 1.70.010 of the City of Yakima
Municipal Code.

CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Jeff B. West, Acting City Prosecutor 575 -6033.
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The proposed Ordinance amendment alters the fee for
case reports to provide a more equitable and practical billing system. Charging $5.00
for a two page report does not seem equitable to the requestor. Charging $5.00 for a 300
to 400 page murder investigation report does not accurately reflect the City's cost in
producing such documents. The sum of $.25 has been arrived at by adding the City's
actual cost to provide copies. , In addition, the charge for notary services raised from
$2.00 to $3.00 to comport with the general price currently charged by private
institutions.
