Subject: RE: GS # 2117 (Re: Followup on Records request Sweetapple Bar Report 11/26/14)_amended
Thank you Mr. Thrasher.
I have a follow-up question though to the Custodian or anyone the Town so directs. Are there records
related to the 11/14 Sweetapple Report or not? Are there documents the Town claims are not public
records or is the Town saying that Bob prepared an oral report without creating any writings. I feel that
it is good policy to give a requestor some insight on why no records were created. I have entertained
the idea that Bob's original report was oral but I am no so dull as to buy that a report was prepared
without a single record.
So now I will ask for any and all communications to or from the Town and Sweetapple's firm its
employees agents shareholders officers associates or his person regarding that 11/26/14 entry about a
report regarding the Bar. So at the very very minimum there should be records reflecting the order
from the Town to Sweetapple to make such a Bar Report, communications about when and where
Sweetapple was to deliver that report orally and who was involved, and communications from the Town
to Bob and visa versa about the original request (i.e. whether records exist). I beg, please do not make
me send in 500 requests with language tweaked in every which way to cover every possible scenario. I
beg for a human response that makes sense and that avoids a lawsuit where documents are found to be
records and those records responsive and the excuse is mistake.
Also, to the Custodian, I would like to supplement my Ganger request. I would like all emails between
he and anyone @flcities.com (the surlink for the Florida League of Cities) for the last six months in
electronic format, like the original files. To the extent they cannot be reproduced with ease, I would like
to inspect the email account of rwganeer@bellsouth.net. I would also like all records which concern the
"political insider" Mr. Ganger references in his Jan. 17, 2016 email with the League of Casey Cook as well
as those records which concern the phrase "achieve our objectives."
The Town can forgo the aforementioned records requests if they want to tell me who the political
insider is and or what the Town's objectives are.
Thanks a bunch.
