The above-captioned matter was heard as a contested case on May 5, 1998, at 
which time the complainant and the respondents appeared in order to present testimony, 
exhibits and argument on the complaint.

	At an informal conference during a recess of the May 5, 1998 hearing, the 
complainant and the respondents reached the terms of an agreement in resolution of this 
contested case.  The parties agreed that the respondents will continue to search for the 
records sought by the complainant, such records being invoices related to official 
photographs taken of specified police chiefs.  The parties also agreed that, when located, 
copies of such records will be promptly provided to the complainant at no charge.  Based 
upon this agreement, the complainant informed the Commission that he wished to 
withdraw his complaint in this matter.  However, the complainant stated that he reserved 
his right to file a new complaint should the respondents fail to comply with the terms of 
the agreement herein stated and a second request for the records at issue becomes 
necessary.  

	The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of 
the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:

	1.  The complaint is hereby dismissed.

	Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular 
meeting of June 10, 1998.
