▶ 1:28 Speaker 2: Good evening. so as I mentioned I was here for my budget hearing one of the things I discovered when I started the city clerk's office was that we charge an additional fee if you request birth certificates online or by mail and that's a $5 over what we would charge if someone comes into the city clerk's office and I'd like to align it back to the same price for everything and lower it to the $18 that we charge for in-person visits so that everyone regardless of whether they can make it to city hall during business hours pays the same rate
