Any person requesting a transcript of a public hearing, informal meeting or other event for which the city has made an electronic recording shall pay the full cost of producing that transcript. Such payment shall be made prior to production of the transcript, and the amount of this payment shall be based on the estimated cost of producing the transcript. Any cost not paid in advance shall be paid when the transcript is delivered; and payment in excess of the actual final cost shall be refunded. Alternatively, any person may request a copy of the official tape, paying the cost to duplicate the tape, and provide their own transcription, verifying that the same is a correct transcription of the duplicate tape. (Ord. 2071 § 1, 1996)
