The most recent communication between the Mayor and any known member of the Gul/'Snram
Civic Association.
Dear searchsystemrecords@gmail.com [mail to: searchsystemrecords(a)amail.coml,
Thank you for your correspondence that the Town of Gulf Stream received on November 28, 2015.
We understand this request to correlate to public records request GS#1977 which has been
administratively closed. We are treating this request as a new public records request. If your
request was received in writing, then the request can be found at the following link
hn://www2.gulf-stream.ore/weblink/O/doc/73371/Paeel.aWxx. If your request was verbal, then
the description of your public records request is set forth in the italics above. In future
correspondence, please refer to this public records request by the above referenced number.
The Town is not aware of the membership status of the Gulf Stream Civic Association at a given
time. Could you please be more specific of either a certain name that is involved with the Gulf
Stream Civic Association or a topic of discussion that would have been discussed with the Gulf
Stream Civic Association? This request of clarification is done as a courtesy to you to ensure the
Town is able to accurately and promptly provide you with either an estimate, if necessary, or
production of the public records you seek.
Please clarify the above request as indicated and the Town of Gulf Stream will proceed with
fulfilling your request. The Town of Gulf Stream is currently working on a large number of
incoming public records requests. The Town will use its very best efforts to further respond to
your public records request in a reasonable amount of time. If we do not hear from you within
30 days of this letter, we will consider this closed.
Sincerely,
Town Clerk

the Mayor and the Civic Assoc.))
Dear Custodian of Records,
I am in receipt of your request for clarification forwarded herein. Your request implies you are
unaware of the identity of any member of the Gulf Stream Civic Association. This is very
difficult for me to believe. I don't wish to think that a public servant would be intentionally
obtuse so I am assuming I just didn't ask in a way that met your minimum standard of
recognition.
Here is my original request:
The most recent communication between the Mayor and any known member of the Gulf
Stream Civic Association.
Here is what I hope to be a version of this same request in a form you will admit to
understanding:
The most recent (having occurred prior to the date I made the original request but not older than
any like item that also may have occurred prior to the date I made the original request)
communication (email, letter, text message, missive, voice mail, love note, band attached to a
carrier pigeon, sky writing, banner plane, encryption with accompanying de -coder ring, graffiti
on the wall of Town Hall, or any transference, transmission, conveyance or disclosure that
imparts, communicates or exchanges information) between (linking, connecting, shared) the
Mayor (his honorable Mr. Scott Morgan, current chairman of the Town of Gulf Stream Board of
Commissioners) and any (one, some, every or all) known (that you have knowledge of or are
aware of) member (a person who belongs to a thing which is uniquely identifiable) of the Gulf
Stream Civic Association (the particular identifiable thing whose membership includes the
member who is one of the subjects of this request).
Have you never received a letter or email from someone who claimed to be writing on behalf of
the Civic Association? Have you not had speakers at public meetings who have claimed to be
speaking on behalf of the Civic Association? Is not every member of the Town Commission a
member of the Civic Association? I think the more difficult question would be to identify a
resident who is NOT a member of the Gulf Stream Civic Association.
Using this expanded version of a record request, I hope that instead of responding, "The Town is
not aware of the membership status of the Gulf Stream Civic Association at a given time" you
could simply respond with, "Here is the record you asked to inspect."
May I here from you soon?

Civic Association.
Dear searchsystemrecords@gmail.com [mail to: searchsystemrecords(a)grnail.coml,
The Town of Gulf Stream has received your original record request dated November 28, 2015.
Your original public records request can be found at the following link httv://www2.eulf-
stream.org/weblink/O/doc/73371/Pa eg l.asyx. Please refer to the referenced number above with
any future correspondence.
Without any concrete knowledge of anyone's status within the Gulf Stream Civic Association at
any given time, we are providing a link to the most recent Town Commission meeting. In this
meeting a resident stated he was a member but was not speaking on behalf of the Association,
but for himself. This would be the most recent documented communication from a known
member of the Association and can be found here:

Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records
