A hard drive is not a record. Within a hard drive are individual files. Individual files containing
confidential and exempt information cannot be redacted when a hard drive is copied. Gulf

know. The Town is required to furnish copies of records when you identify the record or the
portion of a record with sufficient specificity to permit the records custodian to identify the
record.
Please clarify the above requests as indicated and the Town of Gulf Stream will proceed with
fulfilling your request, or providing you an estimate of the cost of production based on your
clarification. If we do not hear back from you within 30 days of this letter, we will consider this
closed.
Sincerely,
Town Clerk
Custodian of the Records
