Records Request
Dear Custodian, I would like to make the following requests under Chap 119 and Art I Sec 24 Fla. Const.
I would like Gerry Richman's RICO File that he created on behalf of the Town.
I would like Robert Sweetapple's RICO file that was created on behalf of the Town.
I would like Jones Foster's RICO file that was created as part of their duties as Town attorney.
I would like the Town's RICO file.
The above requests are seeking all documents related to the RICO case. To the extent there are emails, voicemails, text
messages and memorandum, I would like those. If there is any doubt whether a record will be responsive, let me know,
I can work with you guys on clarifying. I will note that I told Joanne in 2015 that she should preserve the Towns Rico files
since I will be asking for them at the conclusion of litigation. I would like for estimates in advance, production schedules,
and electronic documents where possible or feasible. I suspect that others may be asking for identical information so I
am open to coordinating and not reduplicating efforts and/or tiering production. I would like emails sent from Scott
Morgan first (please check with him about the use of his private emails and cell phone as he has used them in the past to
conduct Town business).
As a separate category of requests, I would also like communications (email/text/written) between Scott Morgan and
Officer Passagiatta for September 15, 2015 to present. Thank you.
I would also like emails between the Town and Jones Foster regarding Martin O'Boyle's Sober House Letter (dated
6/6/14) and Ordinance 14/2 between June 1, 2014 and up to the first reading of Ordinance 14/2. To be clear, I
understand Jones Foster is the Town Attorney and I would like their internal communications which regard Martin
O'Boyle's Sober House Letter and ordinance 14/2.
I would also like all documents where William Thrasher 06.06.14.pdf was an attachment (electronic or otherwise if it was
printed out). To help identify that document That PDF was in an email sent June 11, 2014 3:55 p.m. sent by Mr.
Thrasher at bthrasherPgulf-stream.org.
I would also like documents (electronic or otherwise) which show the transfer of funds received from permit fees
collected pursuant to Resolution 011-7 after the funds were received. I want the records which memorialize where the
funds were deposited into (an account i.e. general fund, payroll, ect.).
I highlighted the last two requests because I would like those to take priority over all other requests. They are pertinent
to pending litigation and thus, the need for these documents is heightened and paramount. If possible, I will be willing
to pay a 'rush' service charge to acquire these documents ASAP.
Thank you kindly,
Please email me back at this email if any questions, comments, concerns arise.

Re: GS #2473 (Records Request (Sober House Letter))
I would also like emails between the Town and Jones Foster regarding Martin O’Boyle’s Sober
House Letter (dated 6/6/14) and Ordinance 14/2 between June 1, 2014 and up to the first
reading of Ordinance 14/2. To be clear, I understand Jones Foster is the Town Attorney and I
would like their internal communications which regard Martin O’Boyle’s Sober House Letter
and ordinance 14/2.
Dear Jonathan O’Boyle [mail to: joboyle@oboylelawfirm.com]:
The Town of Gulf Stream has received your public records requests dated January 6, 2017. The
request is for e-mails between the Town of Gulf Stream and Jones, Foster, Johnston, and Stubbs,
P.A. (“Jones Foster”), as well as Jones Foster’s internal e-mail communications; said e-mails
dated between June 6, 2014 and June 13, 2014, which is the first reading of Gulf Stream
Ordinance 14/2; and the subject of said e-mails being Martin O’Boyle’s Sober House Letter and
Ordinance 14/2. You should be able to view your original request and response at the following
link:
http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/104550/Page1.aspx
The Town objects to your request for “internal communications” of Jones Foster, a private law
firm, as their internal communications are not public records of the Town, having never been
forwarded to, communicated or shared with any of the Town’s officers or employees by its
outside counsel and not generated in connection with official Town business.
However, specific to the internal communications records you have requested, these records
were previously provided to third parties, either pursuant to public records requests directed to
Jones Foster in 2015, or through the discovery process in a currently pending lawsuit. Having
been produced to third parties previously, the Town is providing you with those records. Please
note that the Town in no way concedes that wholly internal records of Jones Foster are records
of the Town.
We have also attached electronic copies to this e-mail. We consider this request closed.
Sincerely,
Reneé Rowan Basel
