Dear Martin E. O'Boyle - Verbal [mail to: records @commerce - group.com],
Thank you for your public records requests that were made verbally on September 5, 2014. This
is just confirmation of receipt and production of the above requests as we understood them.
GS #1346 — Informed you that we have no such records.
GS #1347 — Informed you that I have to have the billing reviewed for possible redactions before
I could release them to you. Once that is done, they will be available for you.
GS #1348 — Informed you that it would take me some time to gather the responsive documents.
You informed me that Doug Stacey would wait for them. I produced a deposit letter requesting
$9.81 in order to produce the documents. He paid for the deposit and I gave him a receipt.
GS #1349 — Gave you copies of 2 bills and payments for a total of $1.35 for 9 single sided 8 %: x
11 pages which you paid and I gave you a receipt for.
GS #1350 — Informed you that we were not aware of such agreement, but would find out if any
of our attorneys had knowledge of it and get back to you.
GS #1351 — Refused to open Mr. Thrasher's door in order for you to take pictures because he has
a private office and he was not there to give permission to allow us in his office.
The Town of Gulf Stream is currently working on a large number of incoming public records
requests. 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

Re: Public Records — Mr. Thrasher's Desk - 9/5/14 (approximately 11:15 a.m.)
Dear Ms. Taylor and Ms. Avery:
I write this letter in regard to the captioned.
As both of you know, I was in the Town Hall this morning and I requested to photograph
the Public Records on Mr. Thrasher's desk. Both of you refused allowing me to do that,
solely on the basis of Mr. Thrasher not being present. I believe that your actions are a
violation of Chapter 119 and the Florida Constitution.
I will now consult with our counsel, since I think that I was certainly entitled to look at
the Public Records, particularly since I was there.
Sincerely yours,
CpNIIvIERCE GRO
