Institution/HIC		Regional Municipality of Halton


Summary		This is an appeal under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ). The appellant has requested copies of receipts for the purchase of alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages and food by members of the Halton Police for the time period of June 1, 1993 to October 31, 1993. The request was processed by the Regional Municipality of Halton (the Municipality), the institution with custody of the records. The Municipality responded to the request by providing the appellant with a fee estimate of $630. The Municipality did not indicate whether the appellant would receive access to the receipts upon payment of the fee. The Municipality merely stated that it was anticipated that "section 8, 13, 14 as well as 45 will apply to the request". The Municipality asked for a $315 deposit to continue to process the request. The fee estimate did not include any charges for photocopies which the Municipality advised would be charged at $0.20 per page copied. The amount of the fee estimate was appealed by the appellant. A Notice of Inquiry was provided to the parties to the appeal. Representations were received from the Municipality only.
