A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ESTABLISHING A RATE FOR
LISTENING TO OR RECORDING FROM, OR MAKING
TRANSCRIPTS OF AUDIO TAPES OF COUNCIL MEETINGS
WHEREAS , the City Clerk receives numerous requests from
the general public to listen to, record on their own recorders,
or to transcribe the tape as recorded by the City Clerk; and
All such recordings are public records and as such the
public must be permitted access to such recordings , and be
permitted to make recordings on their own equipment of such
original city recording; and
It is deemed both necessary and advisable that the City
Clerk have a deputy present when a member of the public listens
to or transcribes such tape recording to insure that such tape
will not be altered or erased, either inadvertently or deliber-
ately; and
The cost to the city and the City Clerk ' s office for pro-
viding a room and tape recorder, and having a deputy present
while such tape is being replayed, retaped or transcribed by a
member of the public is considerable and should be reimbursed
to the city.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that a charge of Five Dollars ( $5 . 00)
per hour, with a minimum charge of Five Dollars ( $5 . 00) shall
be paid by any member of the public who listens to, records on
their own recorders, or transcribes the tape of Council proceed-
ings . Such minimum Five Dollar ($5 . 00) charge is made for the
purpose of reimbursing the city and the City Clerk' s office for
the costs of providing a room and tape recorder and having
1 .
a deputy present while such tape is being played.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the
20th day of July, 1970 .
