Home My Public Portal AboutPRR 15-1985From: Chris O'Hare [mailto:chrisoharegulfstream@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2015 11:02 PM To: Bill Thrasher <bthrasher@gulf-stream.org> Subject: Public Record Request - money to others for legal expenses 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 two most recent bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group or any other organization, group or agency other than your agency which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town. 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(i)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with particularity the basis for your conclusions as required by § 119.07(l)(fl of the Florida Statutes. Please take note of 6119.07(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)(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 4119.07(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 fust 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.

Dear Chris O'Hare [mail to: chrisoharegulfstream(a)gmail.coml, The Town of Gulf Stream received your public records request on October 13, 2015. You should be able to view your request at the following link http://www2.gulf- stream.org/weblink/O/doc/68145/Pa eg l.aspx In future correspondence, please refer to this public records request by the above referenced numbers. There are no public records responsive to your request for the two most recent bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town. The public records responsive to the remainder of your request, specifically, for legal work performed on behalf of any other organization, group or agency other than your agency which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town, are available at the same link. We consider this matter closed. Sincerely, Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records From: Chris O'Hare [mailto:chrisoharegulfstream@gmail.comj Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2015 5:29 PM To: Bill Thrasher <bthrasher@gulf-stream.org> Subject: Follow up - Fwd: GS #1985 (money to others for legal expenses) Dear Custodian of Records, I don't understand your reply to my record request (forwarded herein for your reference). I asked you for: The public record which is the two most recent bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group or any other organization, group or agency other than your agency which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town. You replied (attached): There are no public records responsive to your request for the two most recent bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town. You further responded: The public records responsive to the remainder of your request, specifically, for legal work performed on behalf of any other organization group or agency other than your agency which was paid by, oris due to be paid by, the Town, are available at the same link. On that link are legal bills for work apparently done on behalf of your agency - not any other organization, group or agency other than your agency. Am I to understand there are no public records of any bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town? Please reconsider your response and let me know if indeed no record exists that is responsive to my request. chrisoharegulfstreaMPgmail.com -------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill Thrasher <bthrasherPgulf-stream.ore> Date: Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 12:04 PM Subject: GS #1985 (money to others for legal expenses) To:"chrisoharegulfstream@gmail.com" <chrisohare¢ulfstreamCaemail.com> Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

I have attached both your response and the record you produced for your reference. I asked you for the following: The public record which is the two most recent bills for legal work performed on behalf of the Wantman Group or any other organization, group or agency other than your agency which was paid by, or is due to be paid by, the Town. You produced two records. The first is an invoice dated September 30, 2015 for legal work performed on behalf of Brannon & Gillespie. The second is an invoice dated March 31, 2015 which does not identify who the legal services were for and if they were on behalf of any other organization, group or agency other than you agency. This record is therefore not responsive to this request. Please produce the responsive records for my inspection. chrisoharegulfstream@qmall.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill Thrasher <bthrasher(a)gulf-stream.ore> Date: Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 12:04 PM Subject: GS #1985 (money to others for legal expenses) To: "chrisohareeulfstream(a)exnail.com" <chrisoharegulfstream(cdemail.com> Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
