There is hereby established a Police Report Fund, with the monies therein receipted to be spent only on appropriation by the Town Council for the purposes hereinafter provided. There shall be established within the Police Report Fund two separate accounts, one to be known as the "Accident Report Account", and the other to be known as the "Police Report General Account". Monies for each account shall he receipted and expended as follows.
(A) It is hereby established that there will be a rate of $5 charged for each motor vehicle accident report copy given to persons asking for the copies. The receipts from this fee shall be credited to the Accident Report Account, and may be budgeted, appropriated and expended for any purpose which, in the determination of the Town Marshal, is reasonably related to the keeping of accident reports or the prevention of traffic accidents.
(B) For copies of other disclosable police reports, including, but not limited to those required to be disclosed pursuant to I.C. 5-14-3-5, a charge shall be collected, which is as nearly as possible equal to the actual cost of making each copy page, including an allowance for personnel time expended, if the actual cost can be established with reasonable accuracy and fixed by the Town Marshal; however, if it is found that it is not possible to establish an accurate actual cost, a fee $0.10 per copy page shall be collected. The receipts from this fee shall be credited to the Police Report General Account, and may be budgeted and appropriated for police equipment, or to subsidize the general operating budget of the Town Marshal's office.
