was
an
effort
not
only
to

also
to
centralize
such

in

Generally
the

of
the

of
government

acts
of
those
who
represent
them
as
public
officials
and

To
that
end,
provisions
of
this
subchapter
shall
be
construed
with
the
view
toward
expansion
of

access
and
the
minimization
of
costs
and
time
delays
to
persons
requesting
information.

a
reduced
charge
where
the
Mayor
or
agency
determines
that

or
any
part
thereof
accessible
and
the
reasons
therefor.
(
d)

circumstances,
the
time
limit
prescribed
in
subsection
(
c)
uf

section
may
be

subsection,
and
only
to
the
extent
necessary
for

The
need
to

a
voluminous
amount
of

in
a
single

in
the
determination
of

under
subsection
(
a)
of

the
