File #  MA-010065-2
Institution/HIC  Municipality of Marmora and Lake
Summary  The Village of Marmora, the Village of Deloro, and the Township of Marmora and Lake (the Township) amalgamated on January 1, 2001 to form the Municipality of Marmora and Lake (the Municipality). Prior to amalgamation, the Township and the two villages kept separate financial records with the exception of records for a jointly used waste site that was the responsibility of the Township. The appellant made a request to the Municipality under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for financial information relating to the Municipality's waste site. She requested the information be provided in "a computer print (sic) over a year within each subaccount and vendor ID". The Municipality denied the request on the basis that a "detailed computer printout" did not exist and that the record may contain personal information of other identifiable individuals. Based on the inadequacy of the Municipality's decision letter, the appellant filed appeal MA-010065-1. Prior to the Municipality issuing a revised decision letter, the appellant narrowed her request to include the revenue received at the Municipality's waste site in 1999 and 2000, and the names of the companies that purchased goods from the waste site in those years. In response to this request, the Municipality issued a decision letter denying access to the records, but proposing to remove the names of individuals from the record and then providing the record for an estimated fee of $600. The estimate was based on 20 hours of search time at $30 per hour and included the cost of preparing the records for disclosure and photocopying. With the issuance of this decision letter, Appeal MA-010065-1 was closed.
