Attention Custodian of Records,
Pursuant to Article 1, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119.07 of the Florida
Statutes I wish to make a public records request of your agency for the following records:
Any records related to underwater videos in the Town record.
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.
Please take note of §119.07(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 every individual in possession of records
that may be responsive to this public records request to preserve all such records on an
immediate basis.
If any records are readily available, please produce those records first without waiting for all
responsive records to be available. Produce the less readily available records as soon as they
are available.
If the public records being sought are maintained by 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.
If you anticipate the production of any of these public records to exceed $1.00 please notify me
in advance of their production 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. If any records may be produced for less than $1.00,
please produce those records first while waiting to obtain authorization from me to produce
more costly records. Do not incur any costs that you expect me to pay which are greater than
$1.00 until first obtaining my authorization to do so.
All responses to this public records request should be made in writing to the following email

Any records related to underwater videos in the Town record
Dear hagenp.waterstop [mail to: hagenp.waterstoj)(Z ,gmail.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on June 19, 2014. You should be
able to view this request at the following link http://www2.gulf-
stream.org/WebLink8 /0 /doc /l 8173/Paeel.aspxx and http://wWW2.gulf-
stream.org/WebLink8/0/doc/18174/Pagel.asRx. If your request was verbal, then the description
of your public records request is set forth in the italics above. In future correspondence, please
refer to this public records request by the above referenced number.
The Town may incur expenses for the production of documents. You are responsible for the
costs of duplication, as allowed by Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and you may also incur a
special service charge for the labor needed to respond to this request. In respect to GS #1011, in
order to convert our VHS videos to DVD, the charge will be $34.98 for 12 videos for a total of
$419.75.
To produce the documents for that you have requested, the Town of Gulf Stream estimates the
need for 1.75 hours of administrative support at $39.23 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. If you would like to narrow the scope of your request, for example, by identifying a
particular document type or date range, the Town may be able to provide these records at a lower
cost.
(1.75 hours @ 39.23 = 68.65) - (.25 hour @ 39.23= 9.81) + (12 tapes @ 34.98 = 419.75) _
Deposit Due: $478.59 in cash or check.
Should you choose not to get both requests, you will find the attached documents are estimates
of each request.
The Town of Gulf Stream is currently working on a large number of incoming public records
requests. 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.
Sincerely, Town Clerk
