Subject: Sign Enforcement Inquiry and Public Record Request
Dear Mr. Thrasher,
Copied below is a photo I took this morning of a sign that is apparently located on the
public right -of -way adjacent to 2770 CARDINAL CIR.
I have noticed this sign at this location for the past few weeks.
I personally have no objection to this sign and I believe the homeowner has every right
to display it.
Because of the length of time this sign has been maintained in it's present location, I
assume that Town police officers who drive past this home on patrol about every hour of
every day are unaware of the Town's regulations in regard to the time, place and
manner that signs are restricted to be displayed. If my assumption is wrong and the
Town has contacted this property owner regarding this matter, I apologize for my
incorrect assumption.
Please forward to the Custodian of Records the following request.
I make this request pursuant to Article 1, Section 24 of the Florida
Constitution and Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.
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 §119.07(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with particularity the
basis for your conclusions as required by §119.07(1)(() of the Florida Statutes.
Please take note of 5119.07(1)(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 §119.01(2)(f), Florida Statutes.
Please provide only those records for inspection that do not require extensive use of
information technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes. Please
1
take note of g119.07(4)(a)3.(d) Florida Statues and if you anticipate that any records
exist, the production for inspection of which will require extensive use of information
technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes, then please advise
me of the cost you anticipate to be incurred by your agency prior to incurring this cost.
If you anticipate the production for inspection of these public records to exceed $1.00
please notify me in advance of you incurring the cost 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.
I hereby reserve all rights granted to me under the Florida Constitution and Florida
Statutes.
All responses to this public records request should be made in writing to the following
email address: chrisohareaulfstream @gmail.com
I wish to examine the public record that is any record of Town Police Officers being
