Under the public records law, a custodian may charge a requester for the actual and direct costs of copying records. Wis. Stat. § 19.35(3)(a). A custodian may request prepayment if the costs to be charged are more than $5.00. Wis. Stat. § 19.35(3)(f); State ex rel. Hill v. Zimmerman, 196 Wis. 2d 419 (Ct. App. 1995). Section 19.35(3)(f) is “clearly intended to protect an authority from squandering staff time, supplies, and equipment usage for a substantial copying project that a requester may later disavow.”
