JOHNSON, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
I concur in all of the opinion of the Court, except the portion that affirms the trial court’s denial of costs to the City of Garden City for photocopying charges.
The respondent cities filed memoranda of costs with the trial court within fourteen days after entry of judgment as required by I.R.C.P. 54(d)(5). The memoranda of costs listed photocopying charges in the following amounts:
City of Kuna $ 53.46
City of Meridian $421.25
City of Garden City $439.90
The trial court’s Order Settling Costs and Attorney Fees awarded photocopying costs to the City of Kuna and the City of Meridian. The court failed to award photocopying costs to the City of Garden City, but gave no explanation for the omission.
This issue should be remanded to the trial court which should do one of three things: (1) award photocopying costs to all three cities, (2) explain the rationale for denying Garden City its photocopying costs, or (3) deny photocopying costs to all three cities.
