Under W.S. § 16-4-204(b), the custodian is authorized to charge a reasonable fee to supervise the copying, printing out, or photographing if someone other than the custodian makes the copies, printouts or photographs. The supervision fee shall be the hourly rates stated in section 4(c)(i) through (iii).
