HomeMy Public PortalAboutPRR 15-1844From: Chris O'Hare [ mailto: chrisoharegulfstream @gmail.comj Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 2:50 PM To: Bill Thrasher Subject: Fwd: GS #681 (ADA compliance 2.19.14 c) Dear Custodian of Records, Yesterday, on May 20, 2015, I received your response to a public record request I made to you on February 19, 2014. I object to your 15 month delay to produce documents responsive to my request. You can't possibly consider 15 months to be an acceptable, reasonable or lawful length of time to produce requested public records. I have forwarded to you herein your late response for your reference. I followed the link, as you instructed in your response. There I found a page with a record identified as PRR 14 -0681 published on it (pdf copy attached). This record contains my original request to you along with the records you deem responsive. On this page your site claims this record was created on 8/7/2014 9:01:26 AM, about 170 days after I made the request. Your site further claims this page was last modified on 5/202015 1.45,13 Pm. This last modification, presumably was due to your adding the records responsive to my request. I note that the records you produced in your response were all created between February 4, 2014 to February 18, 2014; very recent to the day I requested the records. I also note the responsive records consist of: 3 emails • 2letters • 1 check Why did your response to my request, made so long ago, take 15 months to produce? Why haven't you provided all responsive records that may have existed at the time of my request? Why are you now finally responding to my request after having previously written to me on February 19, 2014 that "...the Town requires an advance deposit of $792.54 as explained in the Towns correspondence to you dated January 23, 2013 " and "The Town will not process this new public records request, or any f lure public records requests filed by you, until the aforementioned costs have been paid or otherwise resolved. " I ask, as a courtesy to you, to give you an opportunity to explain to me the lawful reasons for your actions for what otherwise appears to me to be apparent violations of Florida Statute Chapter 119. Sincerely, Chris O'Hare TOWN OF GULF STREAM PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA Delivered via e-mail May 21, 2015 Chris O'Hare [mail to: chrisoharegulfstream @gmail.com] Re: GS #1844 (Fwd: GS #681 (ADA compliance 2.19.14 c)) Why did your response to my request, made so long ago, take 15 months to produce?
