The Town will use its very best efforts to respond to you in a reasonable amount of time with the appropriate response or an estimated cost to respond. Sincerely, R"4i RaW44$" As requested by Rita Taylor Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records TOWN OF GULF STREAM PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA Delivered via e-mail December 6, 2016 Martin E. O'Boyle [mail to: recordsaa.commerce-group.coml Re: GS #2338 (PRR 1305) Please provide all records, including without limitation, emails and letters generated by, sent by or received by Edward "Trey " Navarro or which relate to or mention the words "Trey" or "Navarro " during the period when he was employed by, worked for Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs for the period January 1, 2013 though the date of this Request. Dear Martin E. O'Boyle [mail to: records@commerce-eroup.coml: The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on October 11, 2016. You should be able to view your original request and a partial responsive production at the following link: http://www2.gulf-strearn.org/weblink/O/doc/I02391/PaeeI.ast)x We are taking this request with the assumption that you are meaning Mr. Nazzaro. Based on that understanding, the Town has spent at least 15 minutes on your request and now estimates that to respond to your request will require approximately an additional hour of administrative support at $35.60 per hour, an additional half hour of IT support at $95.00 per hour and 12 %2 hours of attorney time at $250.00 per hour, the labor cost of the personnel providing the service, per Fla. Stat. § I I9.07(4)(d). In light of the breadth of your request, which covers "all records generated by, sent by or received by Edward "Trey" Navarro or which relate to or mention the words "Trey" or "Navarro " during a nearly four-year period, producing all records responsive to your request will require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance. As you are aware, the Town is presently defending approximately 40 public records lawsuits that were filed during the time period encompassed by your request. Your request thereby encompasses documents prepared by the Town's attorneys exclusively for litigation or in anticipation of imminent litigation and that reflect the mental impressions, conclusions, litigation strategies, or legal theories of the Town's attorneys or the Town and would be exempt under Florida Statute § 119.0171(1)(d) until the conclusion of the litigation. As a result and given the fact that very few of the litigation files pending during the referenced time period are now closed, the Town reasonably anticipates needing significant attorney time to review any records that may be responsive to your request for exemptions under Florida Statute § 119.0171(1)(d). This request generated more than 1,500 email documents from a review of the Town of Gulf Stream's email files alone. This does not include any potential attachments to the emails or other hard copies of communications. We have estimated the review and production of these entails alone will require approximately 12 '/2 work hours of attorney support from the Town's outside legal counsel at $250.00 per hour, the labor cost of the personnel providing the service, per Fla. Stat. § I I9.07(4)(d). This estimate is based upon an extremely conservative estimate of 30 seconds to review each email and to redact any potential emails or portions of an email as allowed under the Florida Statutes. (One hour @ $35.60 + One half hour @ $95.00 + 12 1/2 hours @ $250) = Deposit Due: $3,208.10 in cash or check. The Town is willing to fulfill this public records request but we require payment of the estimated special service fee of $3,208.10 in advance before we begin. If the costs of producing these documents will exceed your deposit, the Town will provide you with an initial production of responsive records and an estimate for the production of any additional responsive records. If the costs of production are less than the deposit, the Town will provide you with the responsive records and a refund. Upon receipt of your deposit, the Town will use its very best efforts to further respond to your public records request in a reasonable amount of time. If we do not hear back from you within 30 days of this letter, we will consider this request closed. Sincerely, Sip441d ROW" D As requested by Rita Taylor Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records
