Please provide a copy of all text messages which are records under Chapter 119 of the Florida
Statutes and which have been sent by or received by the Town of Gulf Stream for the period
beginning January 1, 2013 through the date of this Request.
Dear Martin E. O'Boyle [mail to: recordsacommerce-group.coml:
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on October 19, 2016. You
should be able to view your request at the following link:
htto://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/O/doc/103152/Pagel .asnx
The Town notes that it has previously responded to requests — including requests from you
and/or your affiliated entities or officers — for records that appear to seek a subset of the present
request. Links to previously responsive records can be found at:
hqp://www2.gulf-strearn.org/weblink/O/doc/20617/Pagel.aspx

In light of the breadth of your request, which covers "all text messages" received or sent by the
Town of Gulf Stream during a nearly four-year period, producing additional records responsive
to your request will require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance. The Town notes that you
are seeking records from all of the following persons or entities: the Town of Gulf Stream, its
Commissioners, its Manager, its employees, its officers, its staff, its Police Department, its
Police Officers and its counsel at the following law firms: Sweetapple, Broeker & Varkas;
Richman Greer, PA; Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs; Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A.; and Johnson
Anselmo Murdoch Burke Piper & Hochman, P.A. (including, without limitation, the attorneys,
employees and partners of each such law firm).
The Town has spent at least 15 minutes on your request and now estimates that to respond to
your request, which includes coordinating with more than 30 individuals who may have records
responsive to your request, will require approximately an additional two and a half hours of
administrative support at $35.60 per hour, the labor cost of the personnel providing the service,
per Fla. Stat. § 119.07(4)(d).
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.
(Two and a half hours @ $35.60) = Deposit Due: $89.00 in cash or check.
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, 3"
