1. $25.30 is NOT a "special fee" it is the actual .05 cents per page cost set by statute.

2. The Township Clerk's office does NOT have redaction software. However if you require the document in that medium:
A custodian may impose a special service charge related to conversion for:
 Extensive use of technology; and
The special service charge must be based on the cost of the technology and labor actually incurred. This may include charges incurred by an outside vendor. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c. The cost of Adobe pro is $180 per year.

3. An individual in New South Wales, Australia, simply put a black box over sensitive information in a PDF document. While most general users could not access what was behind those black boxes, search engines most certainly could and did. Search engines were able to index all of the information on the page, including the private and sensitive data behind the ineffective black boxes.
Therefore the Government Records Council advises that even if a municipality is using redaction software once redacted the document be reduced to paper and re-scanned to make sure the redacted information is inaccessible to individuals that are computer savvy.

In conclusion Berkeley Township's position is that any documents which needs redaction will be reduced to paper and re-scanned to be sent electronically. Therefore, there will always be the permitted .05 per page cost.
