Summary
|
|
The Halton Board of Education (the Board) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) to examine the expense accounts from 1987 to the date of the request (May 27, 1991) for five named individuals. The Board determined that it did have records responsive to the request and responded initially by denying access in full pursuant to section 14 of the Act . The requester appealed the denial of access and that appeal was assigned as Appeal Number M-910315. During the processing of Appeal Number M-910315, the Board advised that the request involved a large number of records and that it only conducted a sample search and retrieved a representative sample of the responsive records. An Appeals Officer visited the Board's offices to view a sample of the records at issue. The Appeals Officer also met with the appellant to clarify the scope of the request. The appellant indicated to the Appeals Officer that she wished to view the detailed expense account statements for the named individuals for all of the five years, including actual receipts, invoices, phone bills and other supporting documents. The Board advised that it does not keep statements of expense accounts in the manner requested by the appellant, but suggested that it could produce computer printouts for each of the named individuals detailing the date and amount of each cheque made out to them as reimbursement for expenses. The appellant, however, declined to narrow her request in that manner and wished to examine each expense claim and all of the supporting documentation submitted by the individuals for the time period specified in her request. The Board issued a new interim decision which included a general description of the records, and a fee estimate of $12,047. The decision also indicated access would not be given to parts of the records which contain personal information of individuals, pursuant to section 14 of the Act . The appellant appealed the fee estimate contained in the interim decision, stating that: "I do not believe that there should be any fees applicable to the particular records to which I have requested access in this case." Accordingly, Appeal Number M-910315 was closed and a new file, Appeal Number M-9200357 was opened, and it is this appeal which is the subject of this order.
