Institution/HIC		Township of Mariposa


Summary		The Township of Mariposa (the Township) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) from an individual who represents a local taxpayers coalition. The request was for certain materials identified in attachments to the request. The attachments numbered eight pages and listed specific items from six separate meetings held between February 10 and March 16, 1992. The request letter specified that the request "should include but was not limited to relevant documents and correspondences regardless of form ... including all documents and notes of Council." The Township responded to the request by providing a fee estimate and advising that "our preliminary view indicates that some of the following exemptions might apply to the records you have requested: solicitor-client privilege ... and personal information." The requester appealed the Township's decision. In the course of processing this appeal, the appellant also requested from the Township a waiver of the fee. The Township denied this request. During the processing of the appeal, the parties to the appeal have agreed that the request is narrowed to records held by individual Councillors with respect to matters specified in the original request and that the issues to be determined are the ones which relate to the Township's fee estimate. The Township has agreed that the responsive records would be in its custody and control and, subject to possible severances and the payment of the fees, access will be given to the appellant. Further mediation was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Township's decision regarding the fees was sent to the appellant and the Township. Representations were received from both.
