The official custodian shall provide a response to the records request that is postmarked or electronically transmitted within five (5) business days of the date the request is received. Notice promptly shall be sent to the requesting party if additional time is needed under KRS Chapter 61 to respond to the request. When a response is delayed, the official custodian will specifically indicate to the requester that additional time is required to process the request and explain the circumstances justifying additional processing time.
Copies of the public records of this agency shall be furnished to any resident of the Commonwealth of Kentucky requesting them, [on payment of a fee of ten (.10) cents a page], but electronic copies shall be provided via email whenever possible, at no cost. If providing electronic copies via email is not possible, the fee charged to the requester will not exceed the actual costs of copying the record, including the cost of the medium on which it is copied and the cost of mechanically reproducing it, but not including staff costs. Copies of non-written records (photographs, maps, material stored in computer files or libraries, etc.) shall be furnished on request, on payment of a charge equal to the actual cost of producing copies of such records by the most economic process not likely to damage or alter the record.
