Subject: Public Record Request eng cert
Dear Custodian of Records,
On August 21, 2015 I requested a public record from you:
The most recent record of the Town rejecting a sealed certification letter created by an engineer and
submitted to the Town on behalf of a resident unless the information in the letter is verified by another
engineer - other than for 2520 Avenue Au Soleil.
on August 25, 2015 you notified me that you labeled this request GS #1926 and wrote: Please be
advised that no such records exist.
I realize I may have inadvertently asked for too specific a record request and therefore you have
not produced the record I wish to inspect. I will ask again in a different way.
request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
The most recent record of the Town rejecting an engineer's certification which
was submitted to the Town on behalf of a resident - other than for 2520 Avenue
Au Soleil.
This email is a singular request for a public record. Please respond to this public record request in a singular manner and
do not combine this public record request with any other public record requests when responding.
Before making this public record request, I first searched the public records portion of your agency's website hoping I
could locate the public record I seek without having to trouble you for it. Unfortunately I can not find the records I wish to
examine.
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 41 19.07(l)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with
particularity the basis for your conclusions as required by 4119.070)(f) 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, ifso, 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)(8. 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 take note of $119.07(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. Please do not incur any costs on my behalf
without first obtaining my written authorization to proceed.
If you anticipate the need to incur any costs that I would be statutorily required to pay in order to inspect these
public records which would exceed $1.00 please notify me in advance of your incurring that 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. Again, please do not incur any costs on my behalf
without first obtaining my written authorization to proceed.
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:
