Good morning Ms. Lipton.
I am responding to your request for a waiver of all fees related to your
FOAA request. The City is not able to waive the fees related to this work.
Therefore, the cost will be $15.00 per hour. It is estimated that it will
take 10-15 hours. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thank you.
