FAQ’S
Will there be a cost associated with my request?
Pursuant to Florida law, Tri-County Apprenticeship Academy may implement a special services charge that is reasonable and reflects actual costs when the nature and volume of public records requested requires extensive use of resources. Florida courts have interpreted “extensive use” to mean when the process to produce the records (including collection and review for exempt and/or confidential material) takes more than 15 minutes.
TCAA will furnish copies of public records based on the following fee schedule:
- Staff time in excess of fifteen (15) minutes – base hourly rate of staff compiling the request.
- Single-sided copies – $0.15 each; double-sided copies – $0.20 each.
- The full cost of postage and packaging will be charged to the requester.
