May 23, 2014, now asserted that the e-mails will be a while yet possibly sometime next

week. (See Exhibit K.)

failed to provide documents responsive to Plaintiffs calendar request or e-mail request.

Mr. Phillippi:

As I understand it, you are requesting the following:

a copy of every outgoing and/or sent email originating from the email account of Palm Beach County Commissioner Steven L. Abrams,

a copy of every incoming and outgoing phone calls for Commissioner Abrams and that of all of his past and current staff; and

a copy of the calendar and schedule of Commissioner Abrams, and that of all of his past and current staff, and all three of these elements are for from the point he was sworn in as a County Commissioner forward.

Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

Mr. Phillippi: As we discussed late last week, the phone records responsive to your public records request, number PRR-985, are attached. There is no cost for this service, in accordance with county policy. The cost to process the rest of your request is as follows, and these figures reflect 30 minutes of labor per employee, per request supplied free of charge, in accordance with that same county policy. "a copy of the calendar and schedule of Commissioner Abrams, and that of all of his past and current staff" 4.0 hrs (4.5 hrs. - .5 hrs) @$33.88 per hour = $135.52. "a copy of every outgoing and/or sent email originating from the email account of Palm Beach County Commissioner Steven L. Abrams from the point he was sworn in as a County Commissioner forward." A preliminary search pulled more than 17,000 messages, which have to be reviewed and redacted as required by state law. As you requested, I confirmed that e-mails unrelated to official county business are not considered public records and are exempt from disclosure (first, by definition, F.S. 119.011, (12) and also see State v. City of Clearwater, 863 So.2d 149 (Fla. 2003) at 154). Estimating that approximately 1,000 e-mails could be reviewed in an 8-hour period - a very conservative estimate - the cost for this service would be as follows:

EXHIBIT E

2135.5 hrs. (17 x 8 hrs = 136 hrs. - .5 hrs) @$33.88 = $4,590.74

Please be advised the time span to complete this work is not continuous, but every effort will be made to process your request in a reasonable time frame. As you may know, these charges are levied to recover the actual expense to the County for this service, in accordance with Florida Statute 119.07(4)(d) and county policy. They do not include any charges for photocopying, which is not likely here, since it appears that all responsive records can be provided to you in electronic/digital form (PDF).

Please be advised that while we believe the cost should not exceed the amount shown, it could fluctuate in the process. If that should occur, the County will reimburse you for any overpayment made due to overestimation of the costs. Conversely, you will be required to pay any shortfall caused by underestimating of cost by the County. We will notify you of any possible overage we may encounter during processing, and request your approval of the additional cost prior to performing the work causing it.

The next step in the process would be for you to reply to this e-mail with your approval of this estimate.

Then you should send a deposit for the estimated cost shown - in the form of a check in the amount of $4,726.26 payable to Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. Upon receipt of that payment, we will process the remainder of your request and send you a formal invoice of the total actual cost of its fulfillment. Any balance remaining will be due (or refunded) upon delivery of the responsive records.

Please send the deposit payment to Palm Beach County Public Affairs, Public Records, 301 N. Olive Ave., Ste 1002.1, Att'n: David A. Frye

Please reply here or call me directly with any questions in this matter.

Thank you for getting back to me! I want to put in writing what I mentioned over the phone, which is my request was/is INCLUSIVE of all emails (both commission related emails and non-commission related emails sent from Comm. Abrams county email account). I also asked for the statute for all emails that are not going to be disclosed, and I do appreciate you citing the statute. My request still stands though. I am making this request to you Mr Frye, and also to you directly Comm. Abrams. Please let me know when such emails are disclosed whether they are inclusive or exclusive of emails deemed to be about something other than official county business. Also, who will be making the decision with regards to what is county related business and what is not? What standard will that person be using, and what processes will be in place to ensure that this process is done in a way that is above reproach? With regards to the quotes, I will try to get up to West Palm Beach this week to drop off the check in person for the calendars. I want to do this in person, and if I am not able to get up there this week I will definitely get there during the early part of next week. Do I need an appointment or can I drop by your office at any time during regular business hours Mr. Frye? With regards to the quote for the outgoing emails from Comm. Abrams email account, the quote is much higher than you gave me on the phone. I understand why you are looking to be conservative in your quote, and I think that I have come up with a positive sum solution! You mentioned that it took you less than a minute to come up with the total number of emails that may be covered by my request. So, what I would like to do is to have the calendar years 2009 and 2014 done in a phase 1. How many emails are covered by those two calendar years? Doing it this way will get me the emails earlier than I would have gotten them if I waited to get the emails for every year that Comm. Abrams has been on the commission, it will better the pricing equation by giving everyone an estimate based on people actually reviewing emails to use for the emails from 2010-2013 instead of a guestimate by you (which is the only way to do it at this point, so this is not a knock on you at all Mr. Frye), and will let me start sifting through the emails from 2009 and 2014 while you simultaneously review

EXHIBIT F

2the emails from 2010-2013. So, how many emails are covered from 2009 and 2014, and what estimate do I have to pay to start the process of reviewing emails from those years? I look forward to hearing back from you soon Mr. Frye, and always feel free to call me if you have any questions about anything with regards to this email or my three public records requests. No matter what, have a great day!

Mr. Phillippi:

In accordance with statutes previously cited, we are only obligated to release those e-mails that are actually public records - those being e-mails written in the course of conducting official business of this agency. As a result, if you decide to continue with this portion of your request, all e-mails provided to you will be county-related.

As for the review process, I am the person reviewing the e-mails and making the call, based upon my eleven years employment experience with the county and basic common sense. As for reproach, I can assure you that I have no intention of committing a felony to eliminate a few e-mails.

Please call my office, 561-355-6680, to let me know when you are coming and I will be sure to make myself available to receive your deposit payment for the calendar portion of your request.

I'm not sure what you mean about the cost estimate I provided. I don't recall mentioning an exact number on the phone, except to say that it would undoubtedly be time-consuming and therefore costly.

EXHIBIT G

2As you requested, I did check the search results and there are approximately 3,400 total e-mails in calendar years 2009 and 2014. Using the formula of 1,000 e-mails reviewed/redacted in 8 hours, that would be approximately 27.2 hours @$33.88, for an estimated cost of $921.53 for just those two years. A deposit for that amount would be required to begin the review process for what you are calling "phase 1". If the cost exceeds that estimate while the review is in process, I would contact you with a revised estimate for your approval before continuing.

I can give you the estimated cost for reviewing the other e-mails for the remaining four years in the next few days.

Please reply here or call me directly with any further questions you may have in this matter.
