Summary

Councilmember Andrew Perry asked the city attorney to draft an ordinance establishing guidelines to charge fees for public information requests; Eric Duhon expressed frustration that many requests concerned him.

Councilmember Andrew Perry requested that general counsel draft an ordinance establishing guidelines for charging fees for public information requests (PIRs). Perry asked staff to prepare draft language for future council consideration; no ordinance was adopted at this meeting.

Councilmember Eric Duhon said many of the requests had been directed at him and expressed frustration during the discussion. The minutes record the request to draft but do not include proposed fee structures or legal analysis — those items were left for the city attorney to prepare for a future agenda.
