Subject: Public Record Request - brandenburg - payment
Dear Custodian of Records,
I wish to inspect certain public records for the purpose of informing myself of the historic
and current workings of the Town of Gulf Stream and its associated entities, vendors,
consultants, advisers, contractors and agents. The records I wish to inspect may also
be material to current, anticipated or presently unforeseen legal action. The production
of any and all responsive records is therefore urgent and must be acted upon in
compliance with Florida Statutes and established case law as soon as possible. If you
are not the custodian of the public records described herein please determine who that
person is and notify me immediately in order that I may make this request to the
appropriate person without delay. In all cases please reference Florida Statutes and
appropriate case law when responding to this record request.
Please read this entire request carefully and respond accordingly.
This email is a singular request for public records through the agency known as of the
Town of Gulf Stream. 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. Do NOT produce any records other than records
responsive to this request. Please identify by name the person or persons responding to
this request.
Before making this public record request, I first searched online and in the public
records portion of your agency's website hoping I could locate the public records I seek
without having to trouble you for it. Unfortunately I can not find the records I wish to
examine.
NOTE: This is a request for public records in the custody of Special Magistrate Gary
Brandenburg ONLY. Please do NOT produce any records in the custodv of the Town of
Gulf Stream. Limit your response to ONLY records in Mr. Brandenburg's custody.
I request you provide for my inspection the public record which is:
Any public record in the custody of Gary Brandenburg (not in the custody of the
Town) of billings to, and payments from, the Town of Gulf Stream for services
provided in the matters of Town of Gulf Stream v. Swift, CE 4-14, and Town of
Gulf Stream v. O'Hare, CE - 15-1 . Records to include but not be limited to
invoices, statements, proposals, agreements, signed checks, canceled checks,
late notices and any record related to billings and payment for professional
services.
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 �119.07(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 produce only a
portion of all existing responsive records, please tell me that your response includes
only a portion of all existing records responsive to this request.
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.
The phrase Town of Gulf Stream used herein refers to the Town in its entirety including
all employees, appointees, officials, assignees, counsel and consultants including Town
Manager, Town Clerk, Town Police Chief, Town Commissioners, Town Mayor, Town
Departments, Town Police Officers, Town Employees, Town Engineer, the law firm
(Jones Foster Johnston & Stubbs P.A.) that claims to be the Town Attorney including all
attorney, partner and employee members of that firm; the Town Counsel of Sweetapple,
Broeker & Varkus including all attorney, partner and employee members of that firm, the
Town Counsel of Richman Greer, P.A. including all attorney, partner and employee
members of that firm and any other entity associated with the Town and subject to
public records law.
The term public records used herein has the same meaning and scope as the definition
of Public records adopted by the Florida Legislature as Statutes Chapter 119. A record
that does not exist because of its disposition requires the creation of a disposition
record. In all instances where you determine a record does not exist please determine if
the record once existed and in its stead provide the disposition record for my inspection.
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
email address:

Mr. Brandenburg,
Thank you for your timely response to my public record request
I asked to inspect records in your custody of bills and payments for your work in the
matter of CE 4-14 and CE 15-1 of the Town of Gulf Stream. You responded, '7 do not
have any material that falls in the meaning and scope of your request. "
Unless you work for free (and if you do I would like to hire you to work for me) I find your
response to be very puzzling, some might say absurd. As a courtesy to you I ask you a
second time to read my original record request carefully and respond appropriately. If
you need clarification from me to further define the records I wish to inspect, please let
me know as soon as possible.
May I hear from you soon?
Sincerely,
Chris O'Hare

Mr. Brandenburg,
I complied with your request that I please read my request carefully. I even searched the Town's
online records again - I found the Town's version of some of the records I seek but couldn't find
the records I described in my request.. May I please be allowed to inspect the records I requested
to inspect which must be in your custody?
I respectfully request you please carefully review my original request and produce the records I
seek to inspect.

Subject: Follow up - Re: Public Record Request - brandenburg - payment
Dear Custodian of Records,
Attached please find an email from Town of Gulf Stream Special Magistrate Gary
Brandenburg regarding the public record request I made to you eleven days ago
and which I also copied to him .
On May 2nd Brandenburg responded by writing:
l do not have any material that falls in the meaning and scope of your request.
Later that day Brandenburg wrote:
Mr. O'Hare all that material is in the custody of the town, Please read your request
carefully.
Yesterday Brandenburg wrote:
Please follow the requirements of the 2015 changes to F.S. 119 for this request,
all past requests, and all future requests.
Since I have already made this request to your agency and only copied this request to
Mr. Brandenburg as a courtesy to him and to expedite the record production process, I
will ask you again if you have any records responsive to my request and if you don't
would you please ask Mr. Brandenburg, if you haven't asked him already, if he has
responsive records in his custody.
As per Mr. Brandenburg's request I am now directing all my requests to inspect public
records regarding Mr. Brandenburg exclusively to you. In addition, since public records
once in Mr. Brandenburg's custody may now be in your custody I therefore amend my
original request to inspect records which I originally made to you on Apr 30. The
amended record request is as follows (deletions are crossed out and new text is
underlined):
I have yet to hear from you in response to this request. May I hear from you soon?
