Page 2 of City business do not constitute public records subject to disclosure. Personal records
of any City official are not public records subject to disclosure and the City is not in a
~ear~g. ~ position of providing such personal records assuming they even exist at all. Therefore,
to the extent that any portion of your Requests, including the request made to Mayor
Hoog or any other City official are intended to request personal records, these requests are not
subject to the Florida Public Records Act because they are unrelated to the transaction of official
City business.

3. Your requirement that I pay for this information suggests I am abusing the system with
excessive requests for information. My first request has uncovered evidence of multiple violations
of City policy by Community Development Director David Dickey. The request for information
you are currently working on will most likely uncover evidence of criminal behavior by David
Dickey.
RESPONSES TO STATEMENTS -
1. Section 119.07(4)(d), F.S. authorizes the imposition of a special service charge when the nature
or volume of public records to be inspected is such as to require extensive use of information
technology resources, or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both.

2• TI The City does not consider the furnishing of records to be a revenue-generating
operation. However, due to the nature or volume of public records and information to be inspected
or copied in your Requests, it was necessary to request a deposit from you based on the estimated
labor costs that the City would incur to complete your request. You were made aware of this
requirement in the Certified Letter you received from the City dated 2-1-2017. The City is under
no obligation under the Florida Public Records Law to grant a waiver for these charges. A receipt
for the cost of your Requests is forthcoming along with a refund check in the amount of $113.84
will be mailed to you because the time expended by the City to complete your Requests was less
than originally estimated. To the extent necessary and allowed by law, the City will continue to
require deposits, special service charges, and/or copying charges for other public records requests.
3. The City has responded/provided a large number of Public Records Requests for a number of
individuals, including you, asking for specific items involving specific properties on Oak Lane
over the last several months. To the best of our knowledge, the City has provided a complete
