Re: GS #1816 (1072)
Provide a copy of all documents (including, without limitation, billings, payments, plans,
estimates, contracts, drafts of contracts, memos, letters, and emails ("documents') generated,
stored, created or received by the law firm of Richman Greer P.A. (or any of its principals or
employees) where the sender or a receiver is a party whose email address ends as follows:
"@richmangreer.com ", "@ones foster.com ", "@gulf-stream.org" and /or
"@sweetapplelaw. com " (the "original parties') and where the sender or receiver were any of the
original parties. This request is made for the period beginning January], 2014 through the date
of this request.
Dear Airline Highway, LLC [mail to: recordsna,commerce- grouo.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records requests on March 12, 2015. You should
be able to view your original requests at the following link http://www2.gulf-
stream.org/weblink/O /doc /40965/Pagel.aspx. In future correspondence, please refer to this public
records request by the above referenced numbers.
We have produced partial production of the invoices and payments that can be found at the same
above link. Minutes and any correspondence documenting retainer of Richman Greer can be found
at the following links: httv://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/O/doe/28917/Pagel.asi)x and
h!W://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/O/doc/28919/Pagel.asiix
As you are well aware, the Town filed a putative class action against you and others in federal
court along with co- plaintiff the Wantman Group, Inc. on February 12, 2015 and that litigation is
pending. See Town of Gulf Stream and Wantman Group, Inc. v. O'Boyle, et al., Case No. 9-15 -
ev- 80182 -KAM (S.D. Fla.). The Town and the Wantman Group, Inc. are represented in that
litigation by Richman Greer, P.A. Your request broadly seeks all internal communications of the
Richman Greer law firm, communications among the Town's outside counsel and
communications between outside counsel and the Town related to that suit. It thereby
encompasses internal communications, memoranda and drafts of pleadings prepared by the
Town's attorneys exclusively for the litigation or in anticipation of imminent litigation and that
reflect the mental impressions, conclusions, litigation strategies, or legal theories of the Town's
attorney or the Town and 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 4 hours of administrative support at $36.39 per hour, 8 hours of
administrative legal support at $50 per hour, and at least 4 hours of attorney support to review for
exemptions related to the ongoing litigation at $235.00 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.
(4 hours @ 36.39 = 145.56) — (.25 hours @36.39 = 9.10) + (8 hours @ 50.00 = 400.00) + (4
hours @ 235.00 = 940.00) = Deposit Due: $1,476.46 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
