Subject: Third Request (GS #452 (morgan correspondence), #453 (plants in right -of -way))
Dear Custodian of Records,
I am in receipt of your second response to my record requests made to you over a year ago (forwarded herein for
your reference).
I originally asked for a public record which is a section of the code that regulates plants in the right -of -way. A year
later you responded by directing me to your entire code published on your website.
I could not find the record I seek on the Town's website as you directed me. I then asked you a second time for this
specific record and if the record does not exist, I asked you to tell me the record doesn't exist.
In response to my second request you again directed me to your web site. Unfortunately, I searched your entire
published code again for this record and I still can't find it.
If the record I seek does not exist, please tell me.
If the record exists, please provide it.
I make this public record request under the same terms and provisions stated in my original request for this same
public record.

stream.ore/WebLink8 /0 /doc /17937/Pa2el.aspxx. 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 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.
For GS #453, parts A and B, you can find the Town of Gulf Stream's codes online at:

To produce the documents for GS #452 and GS #453 (C) that you have requested, the Town of
Gulf Stream estimates the need for 1.5 hours of administrative support at $36.39 per hour, the
labor cost of the personnel providing the service, per Fla. Star. § 119.07(4)(d). If the costs of

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.
(1.5 hours @ 36.39 = 54.59) - (.25 hour @ 36.39= 9.10) = Deposit Due: $45.49 in cash or
