I expect these records will include information like the nature of the call, the date and time of the call, and any incident report numbers associated with the call if applicable, among other things. I am working under a deadline, and need these records as soon as possible. I will be following up in three days to check on the status of this request. Please let me know as soon as possible if any of the addresses provided are not in your agency’s jurisdiction. Please let me know any costs associated with this request prior to executing it. Please provide the records in an electronic format if possible. Pursuant to FSS 119.07(1)(F), if you deny my request in whole or in part, you must “state in writing and with particularity the reasons for the conclusion that the record is exempt or confidential.” Dear Merris Badcock [mail to: Merris.Badcock@wptv.com]: The Town of Gulf Stream has received your public records request dated March 28, 2018. The original public records request can be found at the following link: http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/117967/Page1.aspx The Town interprets your request for “calls for service” to seek incident reports for the property at issue. Further, please be advised that the Attorney General’s Office has stated that upon receipt of a public records request, the agency must comply by producing all non-exempt documents in the custody of the agency that are responsive to the request, upon payment of the charges authorized in Chapter 119, F.S. However, this mandate applies only to those documents in the custody of the agency at the time of the request; nothing in the Public Records Act appears to require that an agency respond to a so-called “standing” request for production of public records that it may receive in the future. See Inf. Op. to Worch, June 15, 1995. Therefore, the Town’s estimate covers records during the three-plus year time period of 1/1/2015 through the date of your request on 3/28/2018. Based on this interpretation, the Town estimates that to respond to your request will require approximately one hour of administrative support at $41.48 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. (One hour @ $41.48) = Deposit Due: $41.48 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, Reneé Rowan Basel As requested by Rita Taylor Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records
