Re: Records Request #921
Requestor. Asset Enhancement, Inc.
Dear Mr. Thrasher:
Reference is made to the captioned Request which was submitted to the Town of Gulf Stream on
October 2, 2014. A copy of the Request is attached for convenience.
It is the Requestor's belief that the Town of Gulf Stream is purposely delaying the fulfilling of the
Request.
It is implausible that the fulfilling of this Request is taking this long.
I write you this letter to alert you that if the captioned Request is not fulfilled by the close of
business on Friday, October 24, 2014 (the "Deadline "), that the Requestor will, with great
reticence, institute suit.
Of course, if you cannot accommodate the Deadline and you alert us at least 24 hours before the
Deadline, articulating a bona fide reason for not being able to accommodate the Deadline, the
Requestor will consider extending the Deadline to a reasonable date considering the
circumstances, which circumstances would have to be reasonable in themselves.
Sincerely yours,
COMMERCE GROUP, INC..

Provide a copy of the request to produce from O'Hare as set forth on the August 31, 2014 Jones,
Foster billing (Invoice #174285) with a billing date of 812312014. Please also provide all

Dear Asset Enhancement, Inc. [mail to: recordsacommerce- groun.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on October 2, 2014. You should
be able to view this request at the following link: htto://www2.eulf-
stream. ore,/ WebLink8 /0 /doc /22836/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.
The Town is producing the referenced request to produce and the response thereto including all
responsive documents produced. To the extent that you seek "all communications regarding the
aforementioned request to produce ", the Town of Gulf Stream estimates the need for 1 hour of
administrative support at $39.23 per hour, and Jones, Foster estimates the need for 1 hour of
attorney support at $235.00 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.
(1 hours @ 39.23 = 39.23) - (.25 hour @ 39.23= 9.81) + (1 hours @ $235.00= 235.00) _
Deposit Due: $264.42 in cash or check.
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
