O’Boyle [e-mail to: meo@commerce-group.com]: The Town of Gulf Stream has received your public records request dated February 15, 2018. The original public records request can be found at the following link: http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/116955/Page1.aspx The Town interprets the first part of your request, “all public records in connection with, relating to parade or similar permits or approvals” to be a request for the Town Ordinance regulating parades in effect on February 15, 2018. Pursuant to the public records laws, the duty of the Town of Gulf Stream is to provide access to, or copies of, public records at a reasonable time in reasonable conditions but only after receiving required payments. The Town of Gulf Stream is not required to give out information from these records nor give legal advice about these records. However, as a courtesy, please be advised that the Town Code does not contain the word “parade” or “protest,” and the Town does not have a current ordinance related directly to parade or protest permits. Based on this information, there is no such record responsive to this part of your request. The second part of your request seeks “all public records which contain the word ‘parade,’ ‘demonstration,’ or ‘protest,’” from January 1, 2018 through February 15, 2018. The Town would like to request clarification on the records you seek before determining whether to provide you with an estimate for the extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance as described in Fla. Stat. § 119.07(4)(d). We do not understand your request to seek any particular records as you have failed to sufficiently identify the records that you seek with sufficient particularity to enable the Town to provide a good faith response. The Town requests you clarify the records you are seeking and we will endeavor to respond appropriately. If the Town does not receive clarification from you within 30 days of this letter, we will consider this request closed.
