Summary posted:
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office wrote October 15 that it has most of the requested information, including four Excel spreadsheets about sharing and receiving data with other agencies. The email offers to send the documentation after payment of $144.50 plus a credit-card convenience fee. That figure is $30 above the $114.50 quoted September 29 and October 13; the email does not explain the difference.
What this establishes
No records accompanied the reply. It gives no itemized calculation or legal basis for the charge, does not explain why emailing existing Excel files requires payment, and does not address free inspection and self-copying. Whether $144.50 is a revised fee or an error remains unconfirmed. The remaining records and coverage of non-Flock systems and third-party access are still unclear. No fee has been authorized.
What happens next
The October 22 packet supplies an itemized $114.60 invoice and says inspection scheduling at the Kingman office is being coordinated. It does not reconcile the earlier quotes or confirm free digital delivery, free inspection and self-copying, or an appointment. The October 13 fee dispute remains unresolved; no fee has been authorized. Await the fee basis, access arrangements and remaining records.
