NEW SMYRNA BEACH – The city of New Smyrna Beach has agreed to settle a public records lawsuit over cell phone records.
Bill of Rights, Inc., which runs the online publication NSB Shadow, sued after the city charged it more than $300 to redact records from a city-issued phone. A circuit judge ruled in favor of Bill of Rights.
The city has agreed to pay $20,000 in attorney’s fees to settle the suit, will provide the unredacted cell phone bills of the police commander and will review its public records policies.
