connection with the Town of Gulf Stream or any of its Commissioners, members of the
Architectural Review and Planning Commission, members of the Ad Hoc Commission or any of
its employees including, without limitation, William Thrasher and members of the Gulf Stream

Dear Citizens Awareness Foundation Inc. (CAF),
This letter provides the estimated costs for the production of public records you have requested
in your email, "PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST — #C- 114 ", dated March 14, 2014, that we
acknowledged on March 21, 2014.
In order to provide you with an accurate estimate of the time it would take to provide all
responsive documents to your extremely broad request, "all government records which are
available electronically... ", the Town of Gulf Stream respectfully requests a deposit of
$1,540.00, which represents the quote received by the Town from Urban Design Kilday Studios
to fulfill this request, per Fla. Stat. § 119.07 (4)(d). However, please be advised that this is only
an estimate and the actual cost of production may be higher.
Once the Town has received your deposit, Urban Design Kilday Studios will be advised to
undertake the processing of your Public Records Request. If the digital records can be obtained
and produced for less than the provided estimate, they will be promptly provided to you, with a
partial refund of your deposit based on the actual cost of production. If the digital records cannot
be obtained, or otherwise produced for a cost less than the deposit, the Town will send you a
letter with an estimate for the additional cost of production, and require an additional deposit.
If you care to narrow the scope of this request, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Town Clerk
Custodian of the Records
