Copy Costs & Associated Fees
The City of Isanti charges members of the public for copies of government data as authorized under Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03, subdivision 3(c). All applicable charges must be paid in full prior to the release of the requested data.
Standard Paper Copy Rates (100 or Fewer Pages)
For 100 or fewer pages of black-and-white, letter- or legal-sized paper copies:
-
One-sided copy: $0.25 per page
-
Two-sided copy: $0.50 per page
All Other Types of Copies (Actual Cost)
When fees are not otherwise established by statute or city ordinance, the charge for all other types of paper or electronic data requests is based on the actual cost incurred by the City to search for, retrieve, and produce or transmit the data (e.g., electronic transmission via email).
Calculating Actual Cost:
-
Materials & Delivery: Includes the actual cost of physical media (e.g., paper, flash drives, specialized media) and mailing/shipping costs, if applicable.
-
Outside Vendors: If requested data cannot be reproduced in-house (such as large-format documents or specialized photographs), the requestor will be charged the actual amount billed by the outside vendor.
-
Staff Time: Employee time spent searching for, retrieving, and preparing data for copying or electronic transmission is calculated using the hourly wage/salary (plus applicable benefits) of the lowest-paid employee capable of completing the task.
-
Note: If the nature or subject matter of the request requires a higher-paid or specialized employee to search for and retrieve the data, the search and retrieval charge will be calculated using that employee's rate.

Data with Commercial Value
Charges for copies of data that have commercial value are calculated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03, subdivision 3(d).
