Dear Custodian of Records,
I request to inspect certain public records in the custody of the Town of Gulf Stream or in the custody of its vendors,
agents or associated entities.
While I am not statutorily obligated to explain why I want to inspect these records, I tell you it is for the purpose of
informing myself of the historic and current workings of the Town of Gulf Stream and its associated entities, vendors,
consultants, advisers, contractors and agents. The records I wish to inspect may also be material to current, anticipated
or presently unforeseen legal action. In addition, inspection of these records may be essential to my ability to make
informed comments in an upcoming public hearing. The production of any and all responsive records is therefore urgent
and must be acted upon in compliance with Florida Statutes and established case law as soon as possible.
Before making this public record request, 1 first searched online and in the public records portion of your agency's
website hoping I could locate the public records I seek without having to write you directly. Unfortunately I cannot find
the records I wish to inspect. Therefore I am writing you now and requesting you make every effort as required by law to
produce these public records without delay.
I make this request pursuant to Article 1, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119 of the Florida
Statutes. I hereby reserve all rights granted to me under the Florida Constitution and Florida Statutes.
ask that you take the following action:
• Read this entire request carefully and respond accordingly.
• If you are not the custodian of the public records described herein please determine who that person is
and notify me immediately in order that I may make this request to the appropriate person without delay.
• Reference Florida Statutes and appropriate case law when responding to this record request.
• Do NOT produce any records other than records responsive to this request.
• Identify by name the person or persons responding to this request if that person is not the Custodian of
Records for your agency as required by 119.07(1)(b).
• Respond to this public record request in a singular manner and do not combine this request with any
other public record requests when responding to this request.
• Once you have determined that you do or don't have any records in your custody responsive to this
request, immediately act to obtain any responsive records that may be in the custody of
your contractor(s) or other parties.
• Provide only those records for inspection that do not require extensive use of information technologies
or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes.
• If records responsive to this request are not presently available but you expect that they will soon be
available I request that you produce the records as soon as they are available.
ask you to take note of §119.07(1)(c) Florida Statues and your affirmative obligation to (1) promptly acknowledge
receipt of this public records request and (2) make a good faith effort which "includes making reasonable efforts to
determine from other officers or employees within the agency whether such a record exists and, if so, the location at
which the record can be accessed." I am, therefore, requesting that you notify evenr individual and entity in possession
of records that may be responsive to this public records request, including individuals and entities under contract with
your agency, to preserve and produce all responsive records on an immediate basis.

If you contend that any of the records I am seeking, or any portion thereof, are exempt from inspection or disclosure
please cite the specific exemption as required by §119.07(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with
particularity the basis for your conclusions as required by §119.07(1)(f) of the Florida Statutes. Produce for my
inspection all responsive records and ONLY redact that portion of the record that you consider exempt. To be clear, if
you consider an entire record to be exempt, produce that record in its entirety with all portions redacted that you consider
exempt. I specifically ask you to do this in order that I may inspect fully redacted records for the purpose of challenging
a particular redaction or establishing a reference for a future request of a record that is only temporarily exempt, as in the
case of a public record that was prepared by an agency attorney exclusively for litigation and is only exempt from
disclosure until the conclusion of the litigation.
If the public records being sought are maintained by your agency or contactors for your agency, in an electronic format
please produce the records in the original electronic format in which they were created or received. See §119.01(2)(f),
Florida Statutes.
Again I ask that you provide only those records for inspection that do not require extensive use of information
technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes. Take note of §11 9.07(4)(a)3. (d) Florida Statues and
if you anticipate that any records exist, the production for inspection of which will require extensive use of information
technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes, then please provide those records that can be
produced within the first 15 minutes and advise me of the cost you anticipate to be incurred by your agency for the
remaining records prior to incurring this cost. Please do not incur any costs on my behalf without first obtaining my
written authorization to proceed. If you produce only a portion of all existing responsive records, please tell me that your
response includes only a portion of all existing records responsive to this request.
If you anticipate the need to incur any costs that I would be statutorily required to pay in order to inspect these public
records which would exceed $1.00 please notify me in advance of your incurring that cost with a written estimate of the
total cost. Please be sure to itemize any estimates so as to indicate the total number of pages and/or records, as well
as to distinguish the cost of labor and materials. Again, please do not incur any costs on my behalf without first
obtaining my written authorization to proceed.
A record that does not exist because of its disposition requires the creation of a disposition record. In all instances
where you determine a record does not exist please determine if the record once existed and in its replacement provide
the disposition record for my inspection.
As background to this request I call your attention to Invoice #102612 from Peter W. Cross dated October 26,
2012 which identifies 29 images for which the Town paid $1600 as part of a total Town payment of $6,312.30
made on Nov 19, 2012 to Urban Design Kilday Studio for their Invoice #49199. These invoices are attached to this
email for your reference and convenience.
I request to inspect the public records* in the custody of the Town of Gulf Stream** which are the 29 images
referenced above. Please produce these records in the original electronic format in which they were created.
*The term public records, as used herein, has the same meaning and scope as the definition of Public records adopted
by the Florida Legislature as Statutes Chapter 119.
**The phrase Town of Gulf Stream when used herein refers to the Town in its entirety and all entities of the Town
including all employees, appointees, officials, assignees, counsel and consultants including Town Manager, Town Clerk,
Town Police Chief, Town Commissioners, Town Mayor, Town Departments, Town Police Officers, Town Employees, Town
Staff Attorney, Town Engineer, the consulting firm of Urban Design Kilday Studio, Green Group Studio, the the law firm
