53. SETTING OF HEARING FOR SELF SERVICE CENTER FEES Pursuant to A.R.S. §11-251.08, set a public hearing for January 23, 2013 to solicit comments and consider adopting an increase to the existing fee structure for copying and printing fees for the Maricopa County Superior Court Self Service Center and Court Law Library. Also, authorize the Court Law Library to waive library fines assessed in error. Upon Board approval, these items will become effective January 23, 2013. A.R.S. § 11-251.08 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to adopt fees for any specific service the County provides to the public as long as that fee is attributable to and defrays the expense of the service for which the fee is assessed and the fee does not exceed the actual cost of that service. The formal establishment of the revised fees proposed below is essential to the Court’s continued success in providing high-quality judicial services to litigants, other government agencies, and the citizens of Maricopa County. The proposed fees proceeds will be deposited into the Superior Court Special Revenue Fund (259) and the Law Library Fund (261) for disbursement as appropriate. Proposed Fees, current to new: EzCourtForms Printing Fee - $0.10 to $0.20 per page, (estimated annual revenue of $12,700, estimated FY13 revenue of $6,350); Library Photocopy While-You-Wait Service and Copy Fee for any library-staffed copy service - $0.20 to $0.50 per page, (estimated annual revenue of $385.20, estimated FY13 revenue of $192.60); Library and Self Service Center Photocopier and Print Release Fee - $0.10 to $0.20 per page, (estimated annual revenue of $11,342, estimated FY13 revenue of $5,671). The latter fee is collected by vendors and offset against library photocopier invoices. Upon determination by library management that library fines and/or fees were assessed in error, the Law Library may waive those incorrectly assessed fines and/or fees. (C-80-13-005-2-00)
