Complaints about the actions of Judges should be brought to the Judicial Qualifications Commission, and complaints against attorneys in private practice should be made to The Florida Bar. Procedures followed by the Commission: The Commission follows a three -stage process when it considers complaints. The first stage is a determination of whether the allegations of the complaint are legally sufficient, that is, whether the complaint indicates a possible violation of any law over which the Commission has jurisdiction. If the complaint is found not to be legally sufficient, the Commission will order that the complaint be dismissed without investigation and all records relating to the complaint will become public at that time. If the complaint is found to be legally sufficient, the investigative staff of the Commission will begin an investigation. The second stage of the Commission's proceedings involves this investigation of the complaint and a decision by the Commission of whether there is probable cause to believe that there has been a violation of any of the ethics laws. If the Commission finds that there is no probable cause to believe that there has been a violation of the ethics laws, the complaint will be dismissed and will become public at that time. If the Commission finds that there is probable cause to believe there has been a violation of the ethics laws, the complaint becomes public and enters the third stage of proceedings. The third stage requires that the Commission decide whether the law actually was violated and, if so, what penalty should be recommended. This stage requires a public hearing (trial) at which evidence would be presented. Attorney's Fees: If the complaint is dismissed, the person against whom the complaint is filed can file a petition to have the complainant pay his or her attorney's fees, which will be awarded after a hearing if the Commission finds that the complaint was made with a malicious intent to injure the official's reputation, the complainant knew that the statements made about the official were false or made the statements about the official with reckless disregard for the truth, and the statements were material. Confidentiality: The Commission cannot accept anonymous complaints and cannot ]seep the identity of the complainant or any witness confidential. A complaint, as well as all of the Commission's proceedings and records relating to the complaint, is confidential and exempt from the public records law either until the person against whom the complaint is made waives confidentiality, or until the complaint reaches a stage in the Commission's proceedings where it becomes public. The Commission's procedures on confidentiality do not govern the actions of the complainant or the person against whom the complaint is made. Legal Counsel: Both the complainant and the person complained against can be represented by legal counsel during the Commission's proceedings. Other Information: More information about the ethics laws and the Commission's responsibilities is available at the Commission's website, www.ethics.state.fl.us, which contains publications, rules, and other information. STATEMENT OF FACTS: re Complaint to the Florida Commission on Ethics January 8, 2015 ,John C. Randolph has been the Official Town Attorney for the Town of Gulf Stream Florida, located in Palm Beach County, since at least 1997. In the Fall of 2013, 1 became curious about Mr. Randolph's contract with the Town under Section 112.313(16)(c) of the Florida Code. My attorney, Louis Roeder, made a public records request in October of 2013 for all engagement letters with the Town of Gulf Stream and Town Attorney Randolph's firm, Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs which is located in West Palm Beach Florida. The Town responded to the request but did not include any engagement agreements. I do not believe that any engagement contract exists which allows Mr. Randolph to refer business to his firm based upon the Town's response. I also know that it has been customary for Mr. Randolph to automatically refer legal matters to his firm. He has done so numerous times for numerous matters in both 2013 and 2014, 1 believe he will continue to do so in 2015. Since that records request, I have monitored every Gulf Stream Commission meeting; yet I have not seen the Town create a contract to allow Mr. Randolph to refer matters to his Firm, where he is a partner and an expert on municipal law. I believe that this arrangement constitutes an improper arrangement where Mr. Randolph is enriching himself from the taxpayers without Commissioner approval in Section 112.313(16)(c) of the Florida Code. At the December 12, 2014 Gulf Stream Commission meeting I spoke during the public comment on this very issue. I have reviewed the Town's January 9, 2014 Commission Meeting Agenda and I have found no remedial action scheduled to be taken. I believe this agency is the appropriate agency to make this complaint. Attached are the following: • A portion of a draft of the minutes of the December 12, 2014 Commission meeting containing my comments. • Also attached is the stream of back -and -forth documents comprising Mr. Roeder's public record request and Town's response, as referenced above. Excerpt from the Draft Agenda Town of Gulf Stream Commission Meeting of December 12, 2014 Town Commission Regular Meeting December 12, 2014 @ 9:00 A M.. to the Bar Association and he mould like to have that discussed nog•!, and stated that perhaps Mr. Randolph could touch on it. Mr. Randolph stated that as the Mayor has indicated, he believes it was implicit by his previous action to authorise the Mayor to tale such actions. But because the issue has been raised, he thought it would be appropriate for the Commission to ratify retroactively the actions that have been taken by the Mayor in that regard. To be specific what we would look for is a motion that the Town Commission ratify Mayor i•lorgan's August 25, 2014 filing of a complaint against• the O'Boyle la.•! firm, William Ping, Giovanni Mesa, Nicholas Taylor, Rhonda Williams and Ryan Whitmer rlith the Florida Bar's Attorney, Consumer Assistance program, ACAP, and a complaint against Jonathan O'Boyle with the Florida Bar's Unlicensed Practice of Lai•! Division, he said. included in that motion would also be that the Totian Commission authorizes Mayor Morgan and/or the Tot-in's legal counsel at Jones, Foster, Johnson L Stubbs PA, Richmond Greer PP. and Sweet Apple Broker and Vargas PL to communicate with ACAP, the Florida Bar and counsel for the respondents on behalf of the Town in regard to those complaints. So if the Commission wishes to ratify that action based upon previous direction, such a motion would be appropriate. Vice [Mayor Ganger advised that he had a comment first, then a Hotion. He believes personally and he believes his colleagues all accept• that implicitly, xray back over a considerable period of time, this is precisely what we had expected to have happen arid, therefore, he thinks that the complaints are kind of procedural. He moved that that motion as stated by Attorney Randolph be accepted. Commissioner White seconded the motion. t•ir. O'Hare stepped forward to make a comment and said that for years Jones Foster had represented this Tot -in without an agreement and at a public record request, no agreement exists. He states that's an ethics violation of the Florida Statutes and that he's glad you're finally firing that and it's about time. In regard to retroactively covering your sunshine Violation, I don't thins: that's going to work. Thank you. Mayor [Morgan thanked Mr. O'Hare. The Town Clerk continued with the roll, call with all voting AYE at roll call. Mr. Thrasher asked to make a comment and advised that in regard to that topic. He said he sat- through those meetings and it was certainly his understandina as Town Manager that it was your responsibility to act 16 1 Louis L.

As you are probably aware, an ever-increasing population growth in the State of Florida requires the construction of additional highways, and the upgrading of existing facilities. We can certainly agree that considerable study should be made prior to serious consideration of four-laning State Road AlA in the area of Gulf Stream, We have no plans at the present time to four -lane this section of State Road ALA in our current Five -Year Primary Road Program. However, in a recent study prepared by the Department, the four- laning of State Road ALA throughout Palm Beach County has been recce ended. This 16 -year program (1969-1985) was presented to the last session of the Legislature, but was not adopted or funds provided.

Concerning the undesireable condition of that part of Polo Drive lying between Banyan and Old School Roads, Mr. Nutbrown, of Hardrives, Inc., of 'Delray Beach, confirmed the consensus of opinion that this Block has settled appreciably, approxi- mately 12 to 14 inches. As a result of this sinking condition of the road and surrounding property, there exists, at high tide, an excessive accumumlation of Water backing in from the Intracoastal Waterway. Mr. Nutbrown suggested re -construction of that portion of Polo Drive, raising its level, and doubtless providing an addition- al Catch Basin, as well as operational Shut -Offs, properly maintained, of drainage entrances in the Sea Wall on the Water- way. A tentative estimated cost for such improvement was stated as being $5,850.00. He further indicated that a Sump Pump in- stallation might be well to consider. val 5 cont.

Koch, seconded by Mr. LaPorte, unanimously approved acceptance of the Planning Board's Report, together with the understanding that Mr. Grauch proceed with providing for engineering design plans and specifications for possible development of the Caddell property to reflect the rec- omendationa of the Planning Board and the Commission, as well as the intent of fir. Grauch relative to possible sewage facili- ties. 6. Ordinance No, 72-3, providing a basis for local Police control over LOITERERS and/or PROWLERS was submitted for Commission con- sideration, such ordinance being deemed necessary in the best interest of the Town in view of the fact that the United States Supreme Court recently declared the State Vagrancy Law being un- constitutional. On motion of Mr. Koch, seconded by Hr. LaPorte, the Commis- sion unanimously approved placing Ordinance No. 72-3 on FIRST reading. 7. The Commission was informed that satisfactory arrangements with the City of Delray Beach for use of its jail facilities, by the Town of Gulf Stream, for detention of prisoners, when necessary, have been concluded. On motion of for. Koch, seconded by fir. LaPorte who further expressed his appreciation for the coopera- tion extended by the City of Delray Beach, the Commission unani- mously approved execution of a Prepared "Agreement", by the pro- per Town officials, whereby the City of Delray Beach will provide jail facilities for detention of prisoners from the Town of Gulf stream, when such service is needed. 8. The Commission directed the Town's legal counsel (Johnston, Lil- ienthal S Johnston), represented at the meeting by Att'y. John C. Randolph, to initiate legal procedure for amending Paragraph 2, Section 5, of Psticle IV, Chapter 22306, Laws of Florida, Special Acts of 1943, being the Charter Act for the Town of Gulf Stream, Florida, in order to provide an "A"MEND2,rh'T11 thereto, when so amended, to read as follows: "All public moneys shall be deposited in the name of the Town of Gulf stream, in a bank or banks in Palm Beach County, to be designated by the Town Commission, and all public moneys shall be disbursed only on check to be signed by either one of the following: (a) The Town manager and any One (1) Commissioner; or (b) Any Two (2) Members of the Commission.

O BOX 48 Some time ago I informed Mr. Worthing of the necessity for our firm to increase the fee which is now being charged the Town of Gulf Stream for legal services. I now relate this information to you for your consideration. For several years this firm has represented the Town of Gulf e Stream for a retainer of $50.00 per month, with an additional a charge for work done over and above the regular course of the Town's business. We have found, due to inflation and the increase in time and effort expended toward the legal problems of the Town, r that it is economically unfeasible for our firm to continue ' representation on such a basis. Thus, we submit the following proposal: Representation would continue on the basis of $75.00 per month as a retainer fee. This would include such services as attending meetings, rendering legal advice and opinions, time expended on telephone calls, ordinary communications, etc. The prepartaion of ordinances, resulutions, extraordinary legal research, litigation and any other matter outside the ordinary course of business would not be included in the retainer fee. Fees for those services would necessarily have to be computed on an hourly basis of $30.00 per hour. This firm has enjoyed representing the Town of Gulf Stream for the past several ,years and would like to continue in that capacity. We hope that the terms set out herein meet with your approval. Please feel free to call if you have any questions in regard to this matter. Thank you. Very truly yours, JOHNSTON, LILIENTHAL & JOHNSTON By JCR/ml COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 9. 1973.
