A customized service charge may only be imposed if the <br />County agency estimates that the request would require the use of information technology <br />expertise to prepare data compilations, or provide customized electronic access services <br />when such compilations and customized access services are not used by that agency for <br />other agency purposes. <br />10. Costs of Mailing. The County will also charge actual mailing costs, including the cost of <br />the shipping container or envelope if the requester requests mailing. <br />11. Waiver of Payment. The County, including any of its Offices and Departments, may <br />waive the cost of copying and mailing for reasonable cause. <br />12. Outside Contracts for Copying. The applicable agency may arrange for copying by <br />County contractors charged with preserving and protecting public records, instead of <br />copying requested records using County services. In such event, the cost of copying shall be <br />the contract charges, and such charges shall be paid by the requester directly to the County. <br />The requester must pay the copy estimate first before copying will take place. If the <br />requester made a deposit in advance of copying, any unapplied portion of the deposit will be <br />refunded to the requester, provided that the contract charges are paid. <br />13.

The terms of <br />any contract executed in accordance with this Section will supersede and control over any <br />otherwise applicable provisions of this Chapter, but shall not supersede or conflict with <br />applicable state law.

Consideration of Petition of Review. The public records officer shall promptly provide <br />any relevant information to the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to review the decision. The <br />Prosecuting Attorney's Office shall either affirm or reverse the denial within five business <br />days following the receipt of the petition, or within such other time as is mutually agreeable <br />to the County and the requester. <br />3. Judicial Review. Any person may obtain judicial review of a public records request <br />denial pursuant to RCW 42.56.550 regardless of any internal administrative appeal. (Ord. <br />2017-__, 2017).
