Fees for copies
The city receives numerous requests from the public for photocopies of various government documents. It is the city’s goal to ensure the public’s access to information. We encourage the use of technology, and make information available (when possible) through our website (eminnetonka.com) at no cost. For those without Internet access to our website, a terminal is available in the city hall lobby.
Specific copy fees are listed below. For requests beyond those categories, the city will charge $.10/page for copies (black & white), and $.30/page for color copies, plus appropriate postage for mailed responses. It is within staff’s discretion to waive fees for incidental requests.
