Subject: Public Record Request - dues tecum - taylor
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 to this request.
The production of this request should be a simple matter since all responsive
documents have recently been identified, collected and assembled in preparation for
distribution this past December 4, 2015.
I request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
The documents assembled in response to a Notice of duces tecum which was
attached to the subpoena of Rita Taylor and which was to be submitted to the
defense during the December 4th code enforcement hearing for alleged violations
at 2520 Avenue Au Soleil.
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 6119.07(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with particularity the
basis for your conclusions as required by 6119.07(1)(f) of the Florida Statutes.
Please take note of §119.070)(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, if so, 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. Take
note of 6119.07(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 provide those records that can be produced within the first 15 minutes
and advise me of the cost you anticipate to be incurred by your agency for the
remaining records 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.

Dear Custodian of Records,
The records I wish to inspect that are identified in this record request were already located,
assembled and ready for distribution prior to the code enforcement hearing of December 4th,

No additional search or assembly is required. The records merely need to be copied. I agree to
pay the cost to copy these records as defined by state statute. Please produce these records before
responding to any previous request of mine that you may be currently working to provide.
Please tell me when I can expect to inspect these records. I request you provide a production

There was a previous request made by you in which the responsive documents that were

Dear Custodian of Records,
I have already examined all the records you claim to be responsive to my record request. I do not
require hard copies but thank you anyway for preparing the quote. Your response is forwarded
herein for your reference.
I believe there are other records in the Town's custody that should be included in the duces tecum
but if these are the only documents you intended to produce in response to the duces tecum, I
will accept that you have provided all the records responsive to my requested. However, if upon
further consideration you believe there are other documents you intend to produce in response to
the duces tecum then please provide those public records for my inspection. I make this follow-
up request under the same terms and conditions as my original request.
Sincerely,
