Eugene, Oregon, quoted local outlet Double Sided Media approximately $2.48 million to process one police-related public-records request, based on 44,816 staff hours. A second request brought the combined estimate to about $2.68 million. The outlet challenged a search scope extending across current and former city employees for records concerning a particular officer. These are estimated processing charges sought in advance, not money already paid or a judicial penalty. The dispute illustrates how exceptionally large fee estimates can impede practical access to public records.
