Subject: Fwd: Public Records Pick Up 2 -22 -14 a
Dear Custodian of Records,
I had previously asked you for public records and you notified me that these particular records
were available to pick up and I thought I had picked them up. However, I have searched my files
for these records and I can't seem to find my copy. I think it may be possible that in the
confusion of the time I may have not picked them up. Please allow me to explain.
I had arranged with you that I would come to Town Hall and pick up these records at the same
time I was to be there to represent myself before the Town's Special Magistrate for my alleged
violation of the Town's prohibition against displaying "objects d'art" at my home. I was
engrossed in the effort to prepare my defense at the time and when the hearing was canceled by
the Town at the last minute, I thought I had asked my attorney, Mr. Lou Roeder, to pick up the
records for me since I would not be coming to Town hall for the hearing. I think now it is
possible I may not have asked Mr. Roeder to pick the records up after all since I can't now find
them.
I respectfully ask that if you already released these records to me to let me know and I will keep
looking in my files. If I have failed to pick up these records I apologize for any inconvenience
this may have caused you and ask that you let me know when it would be convenient for you to
have me come by Town Hall and get them.
These are the records I intended to pick up:
agenda item IX. C. 2.14.14.e (bodker's resignation)
orthwein boat photo 2.14.14.d
bodker resignation 2.13.14.e
ad hoc expert testimony 2.13.14.c
morgan ad hoc 2.11.14j
employment applications
Sign in sheet week of January 13, 2013
I have forwarded herein the past emails regarding this matter. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Chris O'Hare

Mr. Thrasher,
Thank you for responding to my email.
I understand that the Special Magistrate has determined that my Code enforcement hearing will
be held tomorrow despite my attorney having a scheduling conflict. If you don't mind, I will pick
up these records when I come by tomorrow to attend this hearing.
I assume all the records that I have asked for and authorized you to produce by agreeing to pay
for will be ready for pick -up.
Sincerely,
Chris OH'are

Dear Custodian of Records,
I am really confused by your recent email to me which I have forwarded herein for your
reference.
I wrote to you last week to explain I could not find certain records in my file and I respectfully
asked you to please confirm whether you have already released these records to me or if they are still waiting to be
picked up.
I believe my request to you was reasonable and fairly clear and yet you respond:
Thankyoufor your correspondence that the Town of Guy Stream received on January 22, 2015. We understand this
request to correlate to public records requests GS#646, GS#645, GS#637, GS# 635, GS #619, GS#313, and GS#583 which
have been administratively closed. We are treating these requests as a new public records requests.
I do not understand what you mean by administratively closed? If I neglected to pick up these records, are they no longer
available to be picked up? If I did pick up these records, will you not tell me so in order that I may continue to search my
files for them?
Contrary to the conclusions reached in your email, I did not ask you to produce the records a second time, I only inquired
about the status of previously requested records.
I respectfully ask again that you more responsively respond to my email of Jan. 22, 2015.
