I am writing to ask for a copy of following public record:
Transcript of Joel Chandler's testimony prepared by Sclafani Williams, Job # 140723JAK
My request is made pursuant to Article 1 section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119,
Florida Statutes.
If the original record was an electronic record than please produce the record in the very same
format in which it was created. If the record was not originally created electronically, but was
digitally replicated for electronic archiving or storage, than please produce the record it its
current electronic form. If the record was not created electronically and was never electronically
replicated than please digitally replicate the record for the purpose of copying it to me. I request
all digital records not be "flattened," de- normalized, reduced in quality or altered in any way.
I request that you advise me in writing, as required by section 119.07(1)(e) and (f), Fla. Stat., of
the particular statutory exemption upon which you are relying and that you state with
particularity the reason for your conclusion that the record is exempt if you deny this request in
whole or in part. If an asserted exemption applies to only a portion of a record, please delete the
portion that you claim is exempt and release the remainder of the record as required by section
119.07(1)(d).
If less than $2.00, I will pay for the "actual cost of duplication" of the public records as defined
by Florida Statutes, section 119.011(1). Please advise me of any costs in advance that are in
excess of $2.00 before incurring any billable costs.

Please be advised that the Town is unable to produce the records that you have requested at this
time because a claim has been made by the Citizens Awareness Foundation, Inc. ( "CAFI ") in

records contain confidential and privileged information of CAFI.
Indeed, shortly after making this public records request, you moved to disqualify counsel for the
Town at Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, P.A. in litigation you have brought against the Town
on the grounds that Jones Foster purportedly solicited confidential and privileged information of
CAFI. including the Chandler statement. See Amended Motion to Disqualify Defendants'
Counsel for Soliciting Privileged Information and Using it for a Civil Advantage dated October

Until the claim of privilege raised by CAFI has been resolved by the 15th Judicial Circuit in
either of the aforementioned pending matters, the Town is unable to produce any records
response to your request.
We consider this matter closed.
Sincerely,
Town Clerk
