Stat. § 119.12(1)(b), and further informed the Town of your intent to “institute a formal legal action” if you did not receive a response before five business days had elapsed, which would be April 30, 2019. The original request and correspondence can be found at the following link: http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/123640/Page1.aspx As a courtesy, the Town directs you to Fla. Stat. § 119.12 (3), which may result in the Town being awarded fees against you for such a lawsuit, even if you prevail, and requests that we work together to avoid litigation. It is the Town’s intent to provide you with the records you seek in a reasonable amount of time. The Town has been diligently working on this request, which is very broad, seeking “all records” related to an incident that occurred nearly four years ago, and has been the subject of many previous public records requests by you, your private investigator and your attorneys. Those requests and links to the Town’s responses are as follows: GS 15-1954 (incorporating the 28 page response to GS 15-1928 at: http://www2.gulf-stream.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?dbid=0&id=65551&page=1&cr=1), available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/6 7219/Page1.aspx Provide copies of all information that was displayed and/or were made available in the lobby of the Gulf Stream Town Hall at any time on 9/22/15 which are in the possession of the Town of Gulf Stream.

GS 15-1963, available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/67570/Page1.aspx Provide copies of all records relating to all 911 calls for an ambulance from the Town of Gulf Stream Town Hall on September 22, 2015 which are in possession of the Town of Gulf Stream. The term “Town of Gulf Stream” shall mean each of the following: the Town of Gulf Stream, its Commissioners, its Manager, its employees, its Police Department, its Police Officers and its Counsel (including, without limitation, the following law firms) Sweetapple, Broeker & Varkus; Richman Greer, PA; and Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, (including, without limitation, the attorneys, employees and partners of each such law firm.) GS 15- 1983, available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/67921/Page1.aspx Provide a copy of all complaints made against any Gulf Stream police officer and/or the Gulf Stream Police Department and/or the Town of Gulf Stream beginning January 1, 2010 through October 13, 2015 which are in possession of the Town of Gulf Stream. The term “Town of Gulf Stream” shall mean each of the following: the Town of Gulf Stream, its Commissioners, its Manager, its employees, its Police Department, its Police Officers and its Counsel (including, without limitation, the following law firms) Sweetapple, Broeker & Varkus; Richman Greer, PA; and Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, (including, without limitation, the attorneys, employees and partners of each such law firm.) GS 15-1994, available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/68166/Page1.aspx and supplemental response http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/68166/Page28.aspx Penultimately, there was an incident at Town Hall regarding Martin O’Boyle on September 22, 2015 at the Town Hall Meeting. I would like any incident reports or charging documents that stemmed from that incident including the drafts or memoranda reflecting the Town’s version of the events and decisions regarding what charges to make against Matin O’Boyle – this includes any video, audio, or writings which reflect the events. I want to put you on notice that I will likely be asking for all public records generated from that incident as well as the employment file and application of the officers involved as well as any other Brady information – but not yet. For now, I am also seeking whatever manual’s are out there reflecting the Town’s policing policies/employment policies as well as any policies reflecting the Town's ADA or Federal Rehabilitation Act duties: “High Priority.” GS 15-2042, available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/69615/Page1.aspx (additional records are in the possession of your attorney, Jonathan O’Boyle, and can be provided by the Town if you would like another copy) (1) can I get the disposition report that accompanied that document destruction, my 2013 written request? I just want to see when it was disposed, so to the extent you can just tell me – I won’t kvetch. (2) And I just want to confirm that I have everything from the Town concerning the Board of Bar examiners, like emails and drafts and such talking about the Board and things sent to the Board. Frankly, I want to know everything everyone said to whom, when, et cetera: the whole shebang. I want to know everyone’s motivations. I hope that helps just in case there is anythign out there straggling, as always – if you have any questions about whether something is responsive just ask me, I may agree that it is not responsive or may not be interested in it. If you believe that everything has been produced to date, great! I just don’t want to find anything later on, I have been painstaking in my efforts to avoid any “oops we missed this one” from the Town. I hate to appear like a “helicopter parent” when it comes to requesting but I don’t think that the Florida Law, like New Jersey, requires a certification that all responsive records have been located and produced – so I appologize for being thorough if it comes across as annoying. (3) Also, wanted to know if there was a police manual I could get online, specifically I am looking for internal affairs/discipline procedures & policies. I would like the pdf or other any other electronic document reflecting the same. This one should be super easy. (4) Also, I want the original electronic documents of the reports and any drafts thereof. For example the word documents or whatever program files. Additionally any communications that discuss this incident, broadly speaking. I want everythign the Town has regarding the incident on 9/22/15, this also includes any communications or records that occurred subsequent, including any transmissions to the State Attorney’s office. (5) Lastly, I want Officer Passeggiata’s disciplinary file and employment application. I am particularly interested in where he used to work and any complaints filed against him and the result of any investigation than other details. GS 15-2059, available at http://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/0/doc/71451/Page1.aspx Please provide all records emanating from the incident at the Gulf Stream Town Hall on September 22, 2015 involving Martin O'Boyle.
