Yes, I heard from them as well. I let them know we could not waive the fee as requested, and they withdrew their request. On Fri, Mar 17, 2017 at 12:04 PM, jude halloran < jhalloran@highland.lib.mi.us> wrote:

Madison Heights also received this request on Thursday at 5:00 p.m., and I've learned that the same request was also made to the City Clerk on February 7th. In response to the request that information be provided for free, she has twice advised that the City of Madison Heights has updated our FOIA policy to comply with the new State laws, and is no longer providing information free if it takes over 15 minutes to compile. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dillon Geshel" <dgeshel@pldl.org> To: "jude halloran" <jhalloran@highland.lib.mi.us> Cc: "Michlib-l" <michlib-l@mcls.org> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 12:50:24 PM Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Michigan Open the Books Yes, I heard from them as well.

Speaking as a civilian, my hunch this organization is making a FOIA push in recognition of this being Sunshine Week, the annual event which recognizes the value of access to public information and the tool of FOIA to sometimes gain that access. That doesn’t make it any more or less a task for libraries in how they respond to these requests, but just some context as to why they may be coming. http://sunshineweek.rcfp.org/ Kevin Kevin Driedger Digitization and Conservation Librarian Library of Michigan P.O.
