We will be answering and filing affirmative defenses as well as a motion to intervene on behalf of the Town of Gulf Stream. Documents were delivered to me by Mr. Chandler as part of his reporting a crime and fraud scheme by CAM and others, including its legal counsel. As such, it is our position that no lawyer- client privilege attaches as a matter of law. Inasmuch as our law firm is the defendant in this action and we maintain Gulf Steam's right to possession and utilization of documents, our billing should be covered by the Town. Enclosed is our statement. Please process for payment as soon as possible. I have discounted my billing rate from $600 to $350 per our agreement. Regards, Apl_ ROBERT A.

RANDOLPH; ROBERT SWEETAPPLE; JOANNE O'CONNOR; Defendants. IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 15TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA CASE NO.:502015CA001737XXXXMB(AJ) DEFENDANT, ROBERT SWEETAPPLE'S MOTION TO DISMISS COUNTS V AND VI OF THE COMPLAINT AND ACCOMPANYING MEMORANDUM OF LAW Defendant, ROBERT SWEETAPPLE, pursuant to Rules 1.140(b) and 1.110(d) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure moves to dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and as grounds therefore, states: 1. The law is well settled that on a motion to dismiss, the trial court must look solely to the allegations of the complaint. If the allegations of a complaint fail to state a cause of action pursuant to Rule 1.140(b) or demonstrate an affirmative defense on the face of that pleading pursuant to Rule 1.110(d), the complaint is subject to a motion to dismiss. Introduction Counts V and VI recognize that the commissioners of the Town of Gulf Stream ( "Town ") are granted legislative powers and constitute a board or commission as that terms is contemplated under Article I, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Section 286.011, Fla. Stat. (P:85, 103).1 Plaintiff alleges that Mayor Morgan was delegated full powers of the Town's commission with regard to litigation matters as a single member with the authority to arrive at a settlement between Paragraphs in the Complaint are cited as (P:___--). LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 165 EAST BOCA RATON ROAD, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 -3911 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737XXXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law the Town and a Town resident, Mr. Chris O'Hare, regarding certain public records litigation. (P:31, 86). Plaintiff alleges that Robert Sweetapple ( "Sweetapple "), together with Mayor Morgan and Sweetapple's co- counsel, Joanne O'Connor ( "O'Connor "), attended a settlement conference which by its nature fell within the dictates of Florida's Sunshine Law. (P:86 -89). Plaintiff complains that the settlement conference was not publicly noticed, was held in secret, and was sealed with a confidentiality agreement so that the public at large would never know what occurred at that "illegal and criminal meeting ". (P:90). Quoting paragraph 91 of the Complaint, "The September 3, 2014 secret negotiation meeting was in derogation of the Sunshine Laws and caused irreparable harm to the citizens of Florida. It was part of a larger series of ongoing sunshine violations where Morgan is unilaterally directing the Town's litigation as a single member alter ego of the Town where he engages in the decision making process without notice and without a record of the events at meetings required under the Sunshine Laws." However, based on the allegations of fact both precipitating that settlement conference and describing the contents therein, Plaintiff has failed to state a legally cognizable claim pursuant to Section 286.011 of the Florida Statutes thereby precipitating this Motion to Dismiss the counts against Sweetapple. 2 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 20 SE 3m STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737XXXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law Paragraph 25 of the Complaint states in a conclusory manner that Sweetapple participated in a decision making process with Mayor Morgan, Town Attorney John Randolph ( "Randolph "), and O'Connor. Paragraph 30 alleges "upon information and belief' that Mayor Morgan conspired with the Randolph, Sweetapple, and O'Connor with respect to Mayor Morgan's filing a bar complaint. Paragraphs 31, 32 and 33 allege that Sweetapple together with O'Connor and Mayor Morgan engaged a Town resident, Mr. O'Hare, in a settlement negotiation after inducing Mr. O'Hare into signing a confidentiality agreement. The settlement discussions took place on September 3, 2014. (P:86). Paragraphs 34 and 35 allege that Mr. O'Hare entertained the offer presented by Mayor Morgan and that Sweetapple stated that he would "call the other four commissioners and arrange for a vote if Mr. O'Hare accepted Mayor Morgan's offer." (P:35). The confidentiality agreement was attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "C ". Paragraph 38 alleges that Sweetapple together with O'Connor and Randolph were instrumental in assisting Mayor Morgan in directing the Town's litigation and that this meeting did not comply with Sunshine Laws. Paragraph 23 alleges that on December 12, 2014, the delegation of authority to Mayor Morgan was confirmed by the admissions of Mayor Morgan, Randolph, Vice Mayor Ganger, Commissioner Orthwein and Town Manager Thrasher at the Town's commission meeting. (P:23). 2 For the purposes of this motion to dismiss, the allegations of the complaint may be assumed to be true. Eikind v. Bennett, 958 So.2d 1088, 1090 (Fla. 4" DCA). Without repeating those allegations here, Defendant does not admit to the truth of any allegation. 3 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 20 SE 3° STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737XXXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law FACTS THAT WERE NOT ALLEGED At no time does the Complaint allege that Sweetapple met with any other commissioner other than Mayor Morgan at the meeting wherein settlement discussions transpired with Mr. O'Hare. In addition, there are no allegations in either Count V or Count VI that any other Town commissioner participated in the alleged conspiracy between Mayor Morgan and the other Defendants. In fact, paragraphs 35, 38, and 88 allege that the other commissioners did not participate in the settlement discussions and that a subsequent vote of the commissioners would be necessary to effect a settlement. MEMORANDUM OF LAW Section 286.011 of the Florida Statutes ( "Sunshine Law") applies to all gatherings, whether formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission. Hough v. Stembridge, 278 So.2d 288 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973). The law is applicable to all functions of the covered board or commission, whether formal or informal, which relates to the affairs or duties of the board. The fact that the business to be discussed may be characterized as "non- substantive" does not necessarily remove it from the scope of the Sunshine Law. To the extent such business requires the approval or consideration of the entire board or concerns matters which should appropriately be considered and discussed by the board, then Section 286.011 of the Florida Statutes requires that such business be conducted in the sunshine. See AGO 75 -35. 4 LAW OFFICES OF SWEErAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAs, P.L. 20 SE 3° STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737XXXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law In Sarasota Citizens for Reasonable Government v. City of Sarasota, 48 So.3d 755 (Fla. 2010), the Florida Supreme Court held that meetings within the meaning of the Sunshine Law include any gatherings, formal or informal, of two or more members of the same board or commission where the members deal with some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the board. However, in some cases, a superior collegial body bestows upon a subordinate board, commission, committee, or citizen/staff group some part of its governmental authorities or duties, the members of such boards, commissions, committees, or groups become subject to the Sunshine Law. When public officials delegate de facto authority to act on their behalf in the formulation, preparation, and promulgation of plans on which foreseeable action will be taken by those public officials, those delegated that authority stand in the shoes of such public officials insofar as applications of the government in the Sunshine Law is concerned. News -Press Pub. Co., Inc. v. Carlson, 410 So.2d 546, 547 -548 (Fla. 2d DCA 1982). However, this analysis does not, ipso facto, also mean that when a collegial body delegates some task or authority to an individual person that, in theory, it could elect to collectively exercise itself, the individual person, when performing such tasks or exercising such authority, must operate in the Sunshine. See Florida Bar Journal, 88 NOV Fla. B.J. 48 citing and discussing O'Connell v. Board of Trustees of Florida School of the Deaf and Blind of the Department of Education, State of Florida, Case No. 90- 199CA, Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 285b (7u' Cir. 1993). That article is discussed hereafter because it addresses the participation by one member of a commission in a mediation proceeding which is not covered by the Sunshine Law. 5 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 20 SE 3PO STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737XXXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law The Complaint alleges in paragraph 31 that "on September 3, 2014, Morgan-along with Sweetapple and O'Connor -met with a Gulf Stream resident, Chris O'Hare, to discuss settlement of certain public records litigation." The Court will note that attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "C" is the confidentiality agreement executed by the parties at that settlement conference which incorporated section 44.401 of the Florida Statutes. In other words, the parties to that settlement conference agreed that the rules and relief provided by Section 44.401 to 44.406 would apply to that settlement conference. In essence, the settlement conference was an informal mediation. This fact is very important as explained immediately hereafter. One area of delegation to a single member of a board or commission is when the governmental entity is engaged in litigation and must attend mediation. Often, the governing body will assign a single member to participate in the mediation proceedings. In the case sub judice, the Town assigned to Mayor Morgan the role of participating in a settlement conference with the trappings of a mediation. Historically, there has been a clash between the Sunshine Law and mediation confidentiality when a governmental entity would be ordered to attend mediation with full authority to settle, yet, often times, only the governing body had such authority. While meetings of such boards must be in the Sunshine, mediations are closed and confidential, the conflict between the open and notice meetings required by Sunshine Law and the closed and confidential meetings in mediations arose. This conflict was examined in the above cited case of O'Connell v. Board of Trustees for the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind of the Dept. of Education, State of Florida, Case No. 90- 119CA, Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 285B (7u' Cir. 1993). The 6 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 20 SE 3° STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v. The Town of Gulf Stream, Scott Morgan, John C. Randolph, Robert Sweetapple, Joanne O'Connor Case No.502015CA001737)CKXMBAJ; Palm Beach County Defendant, Robert Sweetapple's Motion to Dismiss Counts V and VI of the Complaint and Accompanying Memorandum of Law O'Connell court considered the issue of the participation of members of the board at a court ordered mediation. Specifically, the school was ordered to mediation and to bring someone with full authority to settle. However, since the board of trustees was a Sunshine body, the school asked the court to remedy the inherent conflict. The circuit judge correctly observed that "the mediation conference scheduled would come under open scrutiny and that Florida Statutes 286.011 if more than one trustee of the [a]gency met." O'Connell, 90 -199CA at 2. See Florida Bar Journal, 88- NOV Fla. B.J. 48. Resolving this clash of policy, and relying on News -Press Pub. Co., Inc. v. Lee County, 570 So.2d 1325 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), which addressed a similar issue, the court ordered: No more than (1) [t]rustee of the [a]gency ... is required to attend the conference. It is understood by the [c]ourt that if the parties present agree on a compromise and settlement, it would necessarily have to be presented in good faith to the entire [b]oard at open meeting before it could be finalized. Id. at 1. In both the O'Connell and News -Press cases, the courts authorized one member of the collegial body to participate in mediation on behalf of that member's entire board in a non - Sunshine setting, with the understanding that any agreement would require ratification of the full board. See, Florida Bar Journal, 88 -NOV Fla. B.J. 48. The Court will note that in paragraph 35, Plaintiff alleges that Sweetapple stated he would call for the vote of the commissioners to approve any settlement. The Court is directed to News -Press Pub. Co., Inc. v. Lee County, 570 So.2d 1325 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990) wherein the Second District held that when one member of the governing body attends a mediation proceeding which requires a subsequent vote by the governmental body, the mediation 7 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAs, P.L. 20 SE 3pO STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E.

State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection v. Garcia, 99 So.3d 539 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011). In Garcia, the Third District stated that "these elements are necessary in order to maintain the status of the proceeding as being judicial in nature and therefore within the constitutional powers of the court." Id. at 545. Plaintiff has failed to plead any of these elements. In addition, based on the relief sought and the incorporated allegations of a violation of the Sunshine Law, Plaintiff is not in doubt as to any "immunity, power, privilege, or right of the complaining party ...... Therefore, Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action sounding in a complaint for declaratory judgment. See Garcia, supra, at 545. 9 LAW OFFICES OF SWEETAPPLE, BROEKER & VARKAS, P.L. 20 SE 3PD STREET, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432 Martin E. O'Boyle and Asset Enhancement, Inc. v.

In addition, plaintiff must allege that issuing of an injunction will serve the public interest. KW. Brown and Co. V. McCutchen, 819 So.2d 977 (Fla. 4d' DCA). While it may be argued that the complaint touches upon these elements, the allegations going to a conference to explore the possibility of settlement do not create a clear legal right since the Sunshine Law does not apply to the settlement conference described above. WHEREFORE, Defendant, ROBERT SWEETAPPLE, respectfully requests the Court to enter an order dismissing Counts V and VI of the Complaint as they pertain to him and grant such other and further relief that the Court deems just and proper.
