PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST permit fees
Please forward to your agency's 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 record of permit fees collected by the Town for construction projects during the time period
between when the Town entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of Delray Beach for building
inspection services and the date the interlocal agreement was recorded with the Palm Beach County
Clerk.
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 foryour 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
1027
costs that you expect me to pay which are greater than $1.00 until first obtaining my authorization to do
SO.

Dear freddy farnsworth [mail to: frederick .freddy.farnsworth(i�gmail.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on June 22, 2014. You should be
able to view your original request at the following link httv://www2.eulf-
stream.org,/WebLink8 /0 /doc /18184/Pagel.asnx and
httv:/ /www2.gulf- stream.org/WebLink8 /0 /doc /18188/Paeel.asox. 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.
To produce the documents for that you have requested, the Town of Gulf Stream estimates the
need for 6 hours of administrative support at $36.39 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.
(6 hours @ 36.39 = 218.34) - (.25 hour @ 36.39= 9.10) = Deposit Due: $209.24 in cash or
check.
Should you choose not to receive both requests, we have included a worksheet for each request
individually.
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
