Summary
|
|
This is an appeal under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) from a decision of the City of Hamilton/Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth (now the New City of Hamilton) (the City). The requester (now the appellant) sought access to "an electronic copy of the city and region's tax roll for the current taxation year [2000]", including "records that outline the record layout of the database file(s), the file format (eg ASCII, dBase, Access, spreadsheet, other) and translations for all codes used within the field... [and] a paper printout of the first 50 records". The City denied access to the tax roll database (the database) relying on section 15 of the Act (information published or available), and on its agreement with the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation not to release the database. The appellant appealed the City's decision. During mediation, the City agreed to provide the appellant access to four data fields (roll number, assessment amount, tax classes, and property address) in a listing of residential and non-residential properties found on the database. The City charged the appellant a $260 fee which consisted of $240 for labour costs, and $20 for two computer disks. The appellant paid the requested fee, but appealed the amount. After reviewing its costs, the City adjusted the fee to $177.50 which included reduced labour costs of $157.50 and the same product cost of $20. The City has not refunded the $82.50 adjustment to the appellant. The appellant appealed the fee of $177.50.
