Dear Stopdirtygovernment, LLC [mail to: records(cDcommerce- eroun.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on October 10, 2014. You
should be able to view this request at the following link: httv://www2.eulf-
stream.ore/WebLink8 /0 /doc /23937 /Pagel.aspx. 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.
To produce the documents for that you have requested, the Town of Gulf Stream estimates the
need for .25 hours of administrative support at $39.23 per hour, and Jones, Foster estimates the
need for .5 hours 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.
(.25 hours @ 39.23 = 9.81) - (.25 hour @ 39.23= 9.81) + (.5 hours @ $235.00) = Deposit Due:
$117.50 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
