Institution/HIC  Board of Education for the City of York
Summary  These fee appeals under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) arise from two of a series of requests for expense-related information made to school boards in the Metropolitan Toronto area. The appellant, on behalf of a taxpayer organization, asked the Board of Education for the City of York (the Board) for access to the following information: (1) A breakdown of all expenses incurred by eight school board trustees during the period between January 1, 1992 and July 31, 1994. (2) A copy of the Board's alpha cheque register for the period between January 1, 1991 and June 30, 1994. The appellant indicated that he wished to receive the aggregate totals for each expense category as well as any supporting documents. These would include credit card vouchers and statements, expense claim forms, invoices and receipts. With respect to the first request, the Board provided a fee estimate of $980. This figure was broken down into $860 for search time beyond two hours and $120 for photocopy costs. For the second request, the Board advised the appellant that it maintained its cheque register in numerical rather than alphabetical order. The Board provided a fee estimate of $350 representing photocopy charges only. The appellant has indicated that the numerical format is acceptable. In both cases, the Board indicated that it would require a deposit of 50 per cent of the estimated fee to proceed with the request.
