Subject: Public Record Request budget/litigation com
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 1 can not find the records I wish to
examine.
I request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
10 most recent communications received from any Town resident(s) regarding the Town Budget or litigation.
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 S I I9.070)(f) of the Florida Statutes.
Please take note of 4119.07(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 orieinal electronic format in which they were created or received. See &I 19.01(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 take note of p 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:

Folks, Chet makes a lot of sense if you want to keep doing what we have been
doing However, what is there to lose by a having the parties get in a room and
negotiate in good faith, Oboyle offered a that today in front of 30 fellow citizens.
Of course the alternative is to continue this fight and by the way some court/
judge will order a form of mediation. Before that happens thousands of "our
dollars"will be spent. Let's be clear here the sentiment expressed today by the
public comments of sincere neighbors was " bring this to a stop " Our
commissioners are ignoring this overwhelming voter directive. Their response
they will negotiate if the litigants drop all Lawsuits . Just not realistic, but what is

The parties agree to stop - today all " new " actions. If nothing else the parties
stop the financial drain. The litigants have demonstrated their resolve , the towns
plan to win the " lottery" of a RICO action has already failed and like bad losers
our commissioners are shopping a new opinion - can we afford it ? I have
advanced a settlement offer that can at least get the parties in a room talking
Chet even acknowledged it was a good idea) when I told Joan Orthwien about it
she stated it was the first she heard of it - doesn't our Mayor have an obligation to
share this entreaty with his fellow commissioners ? Oboyle shared with us today
that he has advanced in writing or by a call. 6 separate settlement requests. Our
mayor stated he did not like the form / manner of these offers. You Linda as our "
local rep ", Are you aware of a this and the settlement idea I have Oboyle
agreeing too ? Which by the way has Oboyle/ Ohare writing a check. Do you
care to know more ? If so reach out because if you were listening today it is what
your constituents want. You were absent at the last meeting watch the video tape
read the emails sent to Thrasher and Morgan a rethink your position and the will
of your neighbors. You have all heard this before but " the definition of insanity is
doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Time to find a
different approach- check your egos at the door and sit down like good neighbors
forget the animus of the past and act in good faith.
Please pass this onto any neighbors not copied here.

It is my sincere hope that everyone recognizes the insatiable appetite of the two litigants invol
seemingly endless charade of legal recreation.
There is no easy fix to this problem. Make no mistake here, the problem is not the Town, the
be the forty plus law suits that the Town is forced to deal with. Our efforts should be focused
have abused our legal system with all this frivolous litigation. This is called abuse of process.
suits can be understandable; but, forty suits defies any logic.

This is my second effort at sending a response, the first one "bounced back'. I apologize if an
my prior attempt....
I simply want to second Lynn Brody's comments. To get to an intransigent situation requires
sides and a lack of goodwill in achieving a rational outcome. Regardless of the "righteousness
position, a resolution needs to be found. It would be fine if you weren't playing with other pec
you are... and letting other needs go wanting in the interim.
I hope a new and more constructive approach will be adopted

Dear Mr. Thrasher and Mr. Morgan,
Regretfully, Mark and I will not be able to attend the meeting tonight, but we wish to make
regarding the continued lawsuits.
It is imperative, and obvious to many of our neighbors with whom we have spoken, that our
leadership must come to the table and do whatever it takes to put an end to the pointless lei
expenditures.
Our town has many needs that will go unaddressed if our budget is held hostage by this frivo
nonsense.
If any of you have thoughts on this, and are unable to attend the meeting tonight, please ma
opinions known, as well. This is too important to ignore.
Best, -Lynn Brody

me how the million dollar legal expenditure would stop new litigations.
In other words, the one million dollars has nothing to do with working
out a settlement which will, I'm certain, be appreciated by the people of
Gulf Steam.
Please feel free to call me at any time day or night. My cell number is
561-213-3486.
Lastly, let's remember the residents of Gulf Stream and let's focus on
their desires to end the litigation and to avoid the tax increase. That
should certainly be paramount in your mind.
I leave you now with my best personal regards.

Hi we are residents of gulf stream. 1171 north ocean blvd. el cortijo condominium. Two things 1 . many yrs ago I
paid a huge assessment, around $8000 as I recall, to get utility lines put underground. To my knowledge nothing has
happened. Do you anticipate this being done and when. If not send me back my $$ . I don't want it wasted. 2 . I like
almost all residents are wondering why these legal fees are going through the moon. We unlike other residents simply
can not afford these exorbitant increases. PIs work something out with those two jackasses who are constantly suing
the city. That rico suit was idiocy. Thx

There is no easy fix to this problem. Make no mistake here, the problem is not the Town, the problen

Regretfully, Mark and I will not be able to attend the meeting tonight, but we wish to make a statement
regarding the continued lawsuits.
It is imperative, and obvious to many of our neighbors with whom we have spoken, that our town
leadership must come to the table and do whatever it takes to put an end to the pointless legal
expenditures.
Our town has many needs that will go unaddressed if our budget is held hostage by this frivolous
nonsense.
If any of you have thoughts on this, and are unable to attend the meeting tonight, please make your
opinions known, as well. This is too important to ignore.
Best, —Lynn Brody

Re: Garbage Recycling Yard waste new dates
I second the thoughts expressed by Lynn Brody.
This has obviously become an intransigent situation, which usually requires two intransigent sides. That would
be fine if you weren't playing with other people's money and more relevant needs weren't going unattended.
It is time to draw this to conclusion, I suggest you seek an outcome where there are no winners and there are no
losers -just an ending.
With good intent, this can be accomplished.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I write to express in a little more detail the opinion that I attempted to
express in my three minutes of allotted time at the September 22, 2015 meeting of
the Gulf Stream Commission, at which the Town's operating budget for the 2015-
2016 fiscal year was approved.
As a preliminary matter, to paraphrase one of the other Town residents who
spoke at the meeting, I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like the exercise
in representative government that took place at the meeting. The personal attacks,
invective and sanctimonious and self-serving re -hash of the slights and perceived
slights suffered by Messrs. O'Hare and O'Boyle, on the one hand, and the members
of the Commission, on the other hand, were not at all helpful or productive.
Mr. Ganger's statement that we all needed to remember that we were at a
budget meeting (the implication being that any discussion of how the litigation might
be resolved was out-of-bounds) was also not helpful. When the Commissioners laid
out the propaganda table in the Town Hall foyer and when Mr. Morgan invited
residents to put forth their thoughts on the budget in his September 17 open letter to
Town residents, they should have realized that they were inviting residents to speak
their mind on the causes of the legal budget line item, which is exactly what
happened. What you saw is that the overwhelming majority of residents who came to
the meeting were very upset about the escalating litigation and what it is doing to the
community from a livability standpoint as well as a financial standpoint.
The only dog that I have in this hunt is my desire, as a Gulf Stream resident
and taxpayer, to live in harmony with my neighbors in a well-managed and well -
governed community. At this point, it does not seem to me that Gulf Stream has any
of these characteristics.
As I mentioned at the meeting, I have been practicing law for over 34 years.
During that time, I have served as the general counsel of three public companies and
two private equity firms, as a director of many corporations, and as a member of the
national advisory board of a law school. In addition to my legal role, I am a partner

in a private equity firm and have been a partner or senior executive of private equity
firms since 1986. 1 am a corporate transactional lawyer, not a litigator, but I have
been around litigation for my entire career. As a general counsel, I managed a large
annual legal budget and I have managed litigation matters ranging from securities
litigation to class action lawsuits, public interest lawsuits and nuisance lawsuits. I
have been involved in the prosecution and defense of lawsuits, as well as numerous
alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediations, arbitrations and
negotiated settlements. 1 have been a decision maker in deciding to take cases "to
the mat" (which I have done) or to settle them. I have negotiated many settlements
and many, many business transactions.
With that background in mind and based on my experience, here are my
thoughts and opinions on the current situation:
1. The past is the past. It doesn't matter any more. All of the parties
need to let it go and move on.
2. Neither the Town nor Messrs. O'Boyle or O'Hare has a "slam
dunk" case with regard to any of the pending matters (although
depending on the particular case, each of them may have a
relatively stronger argument than the opposing side).
3. If the cases are not settled, the litigation will last for an extended
period of time, making it virtually certain that the entire $1 million
reserve will be spent and highly likely that the Commission will be
coming "back to the trough" next year or the year after.
4. The litigation is a drain on the Town's non-financial resources as
well as its financial resources. The human capital devoted to this
fiasco and the opportunity cost of those who preside over it when
they could be doing other things to better this community is huge.
5. The reputational damage to the Town and the community from this
war will eventually have economic implications. This has already
become a joke up and down the barrier island. Ultimately, the
homeowners will suffer more than they already have if this is not
resolved and resolved quickly.
6. Litigation is a dangerous game when one of the litigants is
determined to take the case to the mat as a matter of principle.
When both parties have that intent, it is like Russian roulette. 1
could care less if Messrs. O'Hare and O'Boyle want to spend all of
their time and money on these cases, but 1 feel very differently
when it comes to the Commissioners spending my money.
7. Expecting Mr. O'Boyle and Mr. O'Hare to settle by agreeing to a
mutual suspension of hostilities and no more is like expecting
Donald Trump to apologize to anyone. It isn't going to happen.
There has to be a sweetener and I have a few ideas on that score.

Commissioners: by setting aside a $1 million reserve you have let
your opponents (and their lawyers) know how far you can go if the
case is settled. Bad idea from a strategic standpoint. I may be
wildly optimistic, but i believe that despite this these cases can be
settled once and for all for a fraction of that amount. I have met
Mr. O'Boyle once and I have never met Mr. O'Hare, yet despite
the rhetoric, i believe that they really do want this to end. I also
believe that a properly constructed settlement agreement would
mitigate the risk of "re -openers" as has happened in the past.
9. The parties should get started on serious good faith settlement
discussions now, with a goal of wrapping things up by the end of
the year at the latest.
I think Mr. O'Boyle's suggestion of putting a couple of residents on a
settlement committee is a good one. Despite the fact that I have an active law
practice and plenty of other things to do, I am willing to volunteer my services —
without compensation — to serve on such a committee, provided that I receive
adequate assurances of no legal reprisals by the O'Boyle/O'Hare camp for my
services, whatever the outcome.
You are all intelligent successful people. Surely you have better things to do
than to fight a war of attrition until no man or woman is left standing. The problems
that this country and the world face offer high contrast to the parochial and
downright stupid little drama this has become. Now is the time for all of you to do
the right thing and put this behind you.
