Proposed Revision(s):

B4.29 Open Records: The administration shall establish the charges for copies of open records under Article 6252-17A, V. C. S., and such charges shall be determined by the State Purchasing Commission of maximum charges allowable. Under the provision of Article 552.275, Texas Government Code, the College will, for those persons or organizations whose requests for information require more than 36 hours of college employee time to produce, charge $15.00 an hour for each college personnel employee hour necessary to fulfill the request. The college representative responsible for responding to Public Information Act (PIA) requests will provide the requestor with a written statement of the amount of time spent complying with requests for public information from that requestor during the applicable 12-month period. If a requestor equals or exceeds the 36 hour limit, the college representative responsible for responding to the PIA will provide the requestor with a written estimate of the total cost necessary to comply with the request on or before the 10^th working day after the date on which the public information was requested. The requestor must then submit a statement in writing, on or before the 10^th working day after this written estimate was provided, indicating his/her commitment to pay the costs. Each year, on September 1, the record of time computed for charging shall begin anew with no charge for the first 36 hours of college personnel time used for documents produced as the result of a PIA request.
