Municipal copy costs discourage participation

A 25-cent per page charge for
photocopying council reports is
too high, North Saanich resident
Ruth Jacox complained in a letter
received at the Dec. 16 council
meeting.

Jacox noted only one copy of the
recent draft report by transporta-
tion consultant Derek Wild was
available at municipal hall for the
public to read.

Residents wanting to study the
report either had to read the 21
pages standing at the town hall
counter or pay municipal staff 25
cents a page for a copy, Jacox said.

“Local residents need to be
encouraged to take a more active
interest in their municipality and
charging them a high rate for a
copy of a report that their tax
dollars funded is not the way,”
Jacox said.

She suggested residents be
charged five cents a page for
copies.

Ald. Bill Gordon felt the charge
was fair as staff time is involved in

Mayor Maurice Chazottes said
there is not enough demand for a
coin-operated copy machine in the
town hall, which would be one
possible solution.

Although less expensive copy-
ing is available through local busi-
nesses, Ald. Dee Bailin said the
residents cannot take the originals
away from the office.

The 25-cent per page charge can
be very expensive if a resident
wants an entire report copied, she
added.

Municipal administrator
Ron O’Genski said North Saanich
charges the same as other munici-
palities for photocopying.

Council agreed to maintain the
present policy.
