Subject: Public Record Request - Devitt statement of 5-11-12
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.
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.
As background to this request I ask that you please reference page 7 of the minutes of
the Town Commission meeting of May 11, 2012. Specifically the reference to the
statement by Commissioner Devitt, "the Town has questioned submittals in the past and
has consulted with their engineer on many occasions to acquire reasonable backup. "
I request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
Five most recent "submittals" questioned by the Town as referenced by
Commissioner Devitt on May 11, 2012.
Five most recent communications from the Town to their engineer relating to
those "submittals" in question as referenced by Commissioner Devitt on May 11,
2012.
Five most recent records of "reasonable backup" provided to the Town by their
engineer as referenced by Commissioner Devitt on May 11, 2012.
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(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 5119.070)(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 6119.01(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 §119.07(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.
All responses to this public records request should be made in writing to the following
