Dear CG Acquisition Company, Inc. [mail to: records(a),commerce- eroup.comlI
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on December 16, 2014. You
should be able to view your original requests at the following links http://www2.gulf-
stream. org./ WebLink8 /0 /doc /31554/Pagel.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 numbers.
The only settlement agreement between the Town and Mr. Chandler occurred in 2013. Responsive
records related to that 2013 settlement agreement, including the settlement agreement, drafts of
the agreement and communications are available at http://www2.gulf-
stream. ore /W ebLink8 /0 /doc/20415/Paeel .asyxx.
Public records requests made by Mr. Chandler to the Town in 2013 are available online by going
to www.eulf- stream.org click on "I Want To... ", click on "Find a Town Record ", click on "Public
Records Requests ", click on "2013 ", click on "Public Records Number Log" and search for
"Chandler" or "Joel Chandler." Such a search will provide you with the numbers that were
assigned to Mr. Chandler's requests. If you then click on "Public Records Requests 2013 ", you
can then search for Mr. Chandler's requests by number. With the exception of Nos. 13 -0028 and
13 -0032, the documents that were produced in response to Mr. Chandler's requests can all be
found online behind the associated public records request.
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 attempt to identify and locate the documents that were produced to Mr. Chandler in response
to his public records requests Nos. 13 -0028 and 13 -0032 and to determine whether there were
any additional communications between the Town and Mr. Chandler regarding his public records
requests in 2013 will require significant time and expense additional to the more than 15 minutes
the Town has already spent in responding with its partial production to conduct a thorough
review of the Town's hard and electronic files. Such a search will require the Town of Gulf
Stream to estimate the need for I hours of administrative support at $36.39 per hour, and Access
Computers estimates .5 hour of information technology support at $120.00 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 maybe able to provide these
records at a lower cost.
(1 hours @ 36.39 = 36.39) + (.5 hours @120.00 = 60.00) = Deposit Due: $96.39 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
