Dear Mr. Tidmarsh:
This email confirms receipt of your public records request on 4/8/2020.
Wis. Stat. 19.35(3)(f) allows our office to require prepayment of fees related to an open records search if the cost will be greater than $5. Wisconsin courts have noted that this statute’s purpose “is clearly intended to protect an authority from squandering staff time, supplies and equipment usage for a substantial copying project that a requester might later disavow.” (State Ex Rel. Hill v. Zimmerman, 196 Wis.2d 419 (1995)). In order to not squander future “staff time, supplies, and equipment usage” in the future, we ask that you prepay for this lengthy request.
We estimate that the cost for this request will be approximately $100.
Please remit this amount to the Assembly Chief Clerk’s Office. Upon prepayment your request will be fully processed pursuant to Wisconsin law and the procedures of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and a response will be prepared.
If you have any questions regarding your request, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
Steve Fawcett

Dear Ms. Redell,
Thank you for following up with me.
Does the $184.02 include the $100 pre-payment check that I mailed to Speaker Vos's office on August 21, and which Speaker Vos's office acknowledged via email on September 3? In other words, do I need to pay only $84.02 for the records (i.e. $184.02 minus the $100 check), or do I need to pay the full $184.02?
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Christopher Tidmarsh
From: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (wi)
That is correct – With the $100 pre-payment you would only need to remit payment in the amount of $84.02.
