The Plaintiff, , CHRISTOPHER F. O'HARE, ( "Plaintiff'), by and through the
undersigned counsel, hereby sues the TOWN OF GULF STREAM ( "Defendant "), and as
grounds therefore alleges the following:
1. This action concerns the Defendant's violation of Plaintiff's civil rights pursuant to Article 1,
Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, (the "Public
Records Act').
2. This action seeks declaratory and equitable relief.
3. Specifically, Plaintiff seeks an order declaring the Defendant to be in breach of its
constitutional and statutory duty to permit access to public records, and compelling the
Defendant to provide access to the requested public records, enjoining the Defendant from
future violations of the Public Records Act, and awarding Plaintiff attorney's fees and costs.
Additionally, Plaintiff requests this matter be expedited pursuant to Section 119.11 (1),
Florida Statutes.

Jurisdiction and Venue
4. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Article V, Section 5(b) of the Florida
Constitution, and Section 119.11, Florida Statutes.
5. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the Defendant, because the Defendant is a

Fla. Consl.
11. Florida's Public Records Act implements a right guaranteed to members of the public under
the Florida Constitution and it therefore promotes "a state interest of the highest order." See
NCAA v. Associated Press, 18 So. 3d 1201, 1212 (Ist DCA 2009).
12. The right of access to public records applies to "any public body, officer, or employee of the
state, or persons acting on their behalf...." Art. 1, § 24, Fla. Const.; see also § 119.011(2), Fla.
Page 2 of I t
Stat.
13. Under the Public Records Act, "[e]very person who has custody of a public record shall
permit the record to be inspected and copied by any person desiring to do so, at any
reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the
public records." See § 119.07(1)(a), Fla. Stat.
14. Under the Public Records Act, "[a]ny person shall have the right of access to public records
for the purpose of making photographs of the record..." See § I I9.07(3)(a), Fla. Stat.
15. Defendant, as an agency and custodian of records, has an obligation to provide any non-
exempt public records for inspection, copying and photography upon request. See §
119.07(1)(a), § 119.07(3)(a), Fla. Stat.; Art. I, § 24, Fla. Const.

Subject: Public Record Request web site financial records
To: bthrasher(a) gulf- stream.org.didtheyreadit.com
Please forward this public record request to the Custodian of Records for your
agency. Pursuant to Article 1, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119.07 of the
Florida Statutes I wish to make a public records request of your agency for the following
records:
Certain financial records were previously located and publicly accessible on the Town
web site which is identified by the URL: http: / /www.gulf- stream.org /. These records were
previously located and accessible under the home page tab I Want to .... Find a Town
Record. These financial records included records of vendors, payments, receipts and
other financial records. These records have recently been removed or made
inaccessible from this web site. I wish to obtain these records as they were originally
published on the Town's web site.
If you contend that any of the records I am seeking, or any portion thereof, are exempt from
inspection or disclosure please cite the specific exemption as required by 6119.07(1)(e) of the
Florida Statutes and state in writing and with particularity the basis for your conclusions as
required by 5119.07( 19.070)(f) of the Florida Statutes.
I wish to receive these records as soon as possible. If some records that are responsive to my
request are obtainable sooner than other responsive records, I wish to receive those records as
soon as they are available and I wish to receive the other records as soon as they become
available. I request that no responsive records be withheld from me while wailing for other
responsive records to be found.
Please take note of 4119.07(c) Florida Statues and your affirmative obligation to (1)
promptly acknowledge receipt of this public records request and (2) make a good faith effort
which "includes making reasonable efforts to determine from other officers or employees within
the agency whether such a record exists and, if so, the location at which the record can be
accessed." I am, therefore, requesting that you notify every individual in possession of records
that may be responsive to this public records request to preserve all such records on
an immediate basis.
If the public records being sought are maintained by your agency in an electronic format please
produce the records in the original electronic format in which they were created or
received. See 6119.01(2)(f). Florida Statutes. I prefer to receive these records in electronic
format but I ask that you provide these records in the least expensive format and method
available to you.
If you anticipate the production of some of these public records will require a search of sufficient
duration as to require any deposit payment from me, please notify me of any such required
payment prior to conducting any portion of that search which would require such payment.
Please first produce any responsive records that are readily available and do not require any
deposit payment prior to producing.
If you anticipate the production of these public records to exceed $1.00 please notify me in
advance of their production with a written estimate of the total cost. Please be sure to itemize
any estimates so as to indicate the total number of pages and /or records, as well as to
distinguish the cost of labor and materials.
All responses to this public records request should be made in writing to the following email

Dear Custodian of Records,
This email is a request for public records and a clarification of my most previous request to you.
First, the clarification. My most recent record request to you made on Sept. 4, 2014, which is forwarded
below for your reference, was made in order to obtain records I need in order to speak informatively at the
next budget hearing of the Town of Gulf Stream. It is essential to me that I have access to these
previously published records so that I may prepare for this hearing. I do not wish to waste the
commission's time by inaccurately referring to items I previously saw but rather I wish to be able to
accurately and factually discuss the Town's proposed budget while referencing these actual records.
Second, a follow up request for another public record. Please provide any record of the decision to
remove from public access all the financial records previously accessible from the Town's web site which
is identified by the URL: httoJ/www.aulf- stream.om /. I make this request with all the terms, references and
admonitions of my previous request.
Sincerely,
chrisoharegulfstream(&cimai I som
