Subject: Public Record Request - water testing prior to discharge
Dear Custodian of Records,
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 request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
The public record which is the most recent record of the Town testing any
retained storm water prior to it being pumped, transferred or otherwise
discharged into the body of water adjacent to or contiguous with the Intracoastal
Waterway and the Lake Worth Lagoon.
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 &I 19.070)(f) of the Florida Statutes.
Please take note of &119.07(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 §I19.01(2)(fl. 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 & 1 19.07(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
