Subject: Records Request
I would like copies of everything related to O'Boyle v. Thrasher, Ward, and Gulf Stream: Case No.14-CV-
81248.
I want the file, all communications related to this case, every public record available. No redactions are
necessary since the litigation has concluded.
Thanks for the estimate in advance.
If production needs to be tiered out in tranches, let me know, I am amenable.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
P.S. Joanne, now that Scott has determined that the Town has ceased to pursue the RICO case, is the
Town willing to start production. I really don't want to litigate and get these things through an
immediate hearing, but these records are very important to me.

Re: GS #2272 (copies of everything related to O'Boyle v. Thrasher, Ward, and Gulfstream:
Case No. 14 -CV -81248)
I would like copies of everything related to O'Boyle v. Thrasher, Ward, and Gulf Stream: Case
No.14-CV-81248. I want the fele, all communications related to this case, everypublic record
available. No redactions are necessary since the litigation has concluded.
Dear Jonathan O'Boyle [mail to: jobo-yle@obovlelawfinn.coml:
The Town of Gulf Stream has received your public records request dated July 11, 2016. Your
original public records request can be found at the following link:
htti)://www2.gulf-stream.org/weblink/O/doc/97285/Pagel.aspx
After spending well in excess of 15 minutes on this request, the response for the file, provided to
the Town by Johnson, Anselmo, Murdoch, Burke, Piper & Hochman, P.A., can be found by
going to the Town website, click on "Find a Town Record", click on "Legal", click on
"Lawsuits", click on "O'Boyle" and finally, click on "Case 14 -CV -81248". Some of the
attorney bills have been redacted for filing within CM/ECF and therefore constitute accurate
public records available to the Town as part of `the file". If you seek those bills specifically, the
Town can provide you with an estimate for their production. I have also attached a file from
Jones, Foster regarding this case.
With respect to your broad request for "all communications related to this case", the Town
estimates to conduct a thorough review of its hard and electronic files to determine that it has not
missed any additional documents will require one hour of administrative support at $35.60 per
hour and one hour of IT support at $95.00 per hour, the labor cost of the personnel providing the
service, per Fla. Stat. § 119.07(4)(d).
(One hour @ $35.60 + One hour at $95.00) = $130.60
Deposit Due: $130.60 in cash or check.
Finally, to the extent that you seek "everypublic record available," you have failed to
sufficiently specify the records that you seek with sufficient particularity to enable the Town to
provide a good faith response. The Town requests you clarify and we will endeavor to respond
appropriately.
If the costs of producing these documents will exceed your deposit, the Town will provide you
with an initial production of responsive records and an estimate for the production of any
additional responsive records. If the costs of production are less than the deposit, the Town will
provide you with the responsive records and a refund.
Upon receipt of your deposit, the Town will use its very best efforts to further respond to your
public records request in a reasonable amount of time. If we do not hear back from you within
30 days of this letter, we will consider this closed.
Sincerely, A
As requested by Rita Taylor
Town Clerk, Custodian of the Records
