Your request is not only extremely broad, it encompasses internal communications and
memoranda shared with the Town's attorney in the course of ongoing litigation that would be
exempt under Florida Statute 119.0171(1)(d) l until the conclusion of the litigation. To search for
responsive documents, assess whether they constitute public records and determine if any
exemption applies will require significant time and expense. The Town estimates 6 hours of
administrative support at $36.39 per hour, 10 hours of administrative support at $50 per hour, and
at least 8 hours of attorney support to review for exemptions related to ongoing litigation at
$235.00 per hour, the labor cost of the personnel providing the service, per Fla. Stat. §
119.07(4)(d).
(6 hours @ 36.39 = 218.34) - (.25 hour @ 36.39= 9.10) + (10 hours @ 50.00 = 500.00) + (8
hours @ 235.00 = 1,880.00) = Deposit Due: $2,589.24 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
