Good Morning!
Dear Custodian of Records for the Town of Gulf Stream,
This is a public record request made 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 email sent or received by Mr. Thrasher that contains the word phrase "sober house" and any email
address of any sender or recipient of any email sent or received by Mr. Thrasher which contains the
word phrase "sober house," all of which were created or received during the time period from April 15,
2014 through to today's date.
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.
113 0
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 4119.01(2)(f),
Florida Statutes.
If records responsive to this request were lost, destroyed or disposed of in any way, please produce the
disposition record related to that record.
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.
Please note, all responses to this public records request should be made in writing to this email address:
