IT Department - Systems Support Technician - $21.23 per hour

Legal Department - Review of Requested Materials - $29.00 per hour

 

The Custodian may demand prepayment of a fee whenever the estimated amount exceeds $10.00. The Custodian will provide an estimate in advance of the search for requests where search and review fees would be incurred.
