AND ADOPTING A REVISED FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the City Council, through ordinance, has adopted regulations requiring certain
actions and services; and,
WHEREAS, these various ordinances set forth that fees shall be set by resolution; and,
WHEREAS, the cost of providing these various services consistent with applicable codes,
regulations, and policies periodically increase or decrease, or certain services or practices are
discontinued and fees are no longer needed; and,
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City of Arlington to charge appropriate fees and charges that
are consistent with the services provided and to cover the public cost of providing these various
services so that the public is not subsidizing individual benefits derived therefrom; and
WHEREAS, the City Airport Commission recommended establishing fees for long-term
parking at the airport; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing concerning the establishment of the fees
for body-work camera footage redaction and determined the adoption of the fee was
reasonable;

CITY OF ARLINGTON FEE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION NO. 2021-021
Records Services.
12.2 The City of Arlington finds that calculating the actual costs of scanning per page
in order to fulfill a public records request would be unduly burdensome for the following
reasons:
(a)The City employs over 120 employees. Because all City employees contribute to
the production of public records requests and all employees earn different
salaries or rates of pay, the public records officer would have to be privy to
salaries of all employees in order to calculate the invoice;
(b)Employees supplying scanned records to the public records officer would be
required to track time spent, thereby creating a burden for those employees
without work stations as well as additional work not assigned in many
employees’ job descriptions and or union contracts;
(c)The City’s public records officer would be required to maintain a record of all
employees who contribute to each part of a public record request and
potentially charge different amounts for multiple scanned pages;
(d)The City uses more than seven document scanning machines with different
costs and lease agreement fees which change from time to time. The cost of
supplies for the City’s various scanning machines is subject to change based on
current market rates. Calculating the portion of the machines and supplies used
toward scanning public records would require knowledge of the cost of supplies
and an in-depth analysis of timing and application multiplied by each
contributing employee’s hourly rate of pay; and
(e)The response time to a public records request may be delayed in order to
calculate scanning costs and create an invoice with different rates of scanning
charges.

on the average per-minute salaries of the City employees responsible for
video redaction. For the purposes of providing requestors estimated costs
of a request under RCW 42.56.120(2)(f), the City estimates that redaction
takes ten minutes of staff time per minute of raw footage for targeted video
redaction (with or without audio redaction); five minutes of staff time per
minute of raw footage for targeted audio redaction alone; and one minute

regulations, and policies periodically increase or decrease, or certain services or practices are
discontinued and fees are no longer needed; and,

Records Services.
12.2 The City of Arlington finds that calculating the actual costs of scanning per page
in order to fulfill a public records request would be unduly burdensome for the following
reasons:
(a) The City employs over 120 employees. Because all City employees contribute to
the production of public records requests and all employees earn different
salaries or rates of pay, the public records officer would have to be privy to
salaries of all employees in order to calculate the invoice;
(b) Employees supplying scanned records to the public records officer would be
required to track time spent, thereby creating a burden for those employees
without work stations as well as additional work not assigned in many
employees’ job descriptions and or union contracts;
(c) The City’s public records officer would be required to maintain a record of all
employees who contribute to each part of a public record request and
potentially charge different amounts for multiple scanned pages;
(d) The City uses more than seven document scanning machines with different
costs and lease agreement fees which change from time to time. The cost of
supplies for the City’s various scanning machines is subject to change based on
current market rates. Calculating the portion of the machines and supplies used
toward scanning public records would require knowledge of the cost of supplies
and an in-depth analysis of timing and application multiplied by each
contributing employee’s hourly rate of pay; and
(e) The response time to a public records request may be delayed in order to
calculate scanning costs and create an invoice with different rates of scanning
charges.

on the average per-minute salaries of the City employees responsible for

of a request under RCW 42.56.120(2)(f), the City estimates that redaction
takes ten minutes of staff time per minute of raw footage for targeted video
redaction (with or without audio redaction); five minutes of staff time per
minute of raw footage for targeted audio redaction alone; and one minute
