Subject: Re: Request No. 2017-242: NO stop work order for 16 F Street; questions not answered by City of St. Augustine Beach staff
Dear Ms. Raddatz, et al.:
A. Utterly incoherent. The City of St. Augustine Beach's latest e-mail (below) is utterly incoherent. The City's rudely refusing to answer pertinent citizen journalist questions appears unkind, uncouth, gauche, louche and unAmerican. It is deeply offensive.
B. Please, Messrs. Wilson, Royle and Larson, kindly answer my questions and concerns:
1. Please provide any documents on the failure to issue a stop work order.
2. What does "verbally halted" mean? Is "verbally halted" a concept ever discussed or provided by St. Augustine Beach City Code?
3. Please provide documents on any prior "verbally halted" work by anyone else, including but not limited to Mayor RICHARD BURTT O'BRIEN.
4. Work continued after it was known to be violation of setback provision in conditional use permit, correct?
5. Violation of a conditional use permit term is a City of St. Augustine Beach City Code violation, correct? See St. Augustine Beach City Code, 10.03.01(F); 12.10.02.
6. Please refer this matter to the City of St. Augustine Beach Code Enforcement Board on several residents' complaints.
C. Continued contumacy by City of St. Augustine Beach officials may be viewed by prosecutors as part of a continuing coverup under Florida and federal criminal law. Ms. Raddatz: "Following orders" is not an affirmative defense to either crimes or torts. Please reject Mr. Royle's illegal orders and start providing information more promptly, as the law requires, without fear or favor of Mr. Royle or Mayor O'Brien.
D. James Madison wrote in 1822: "A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
E. This is our country, and your respect for our rights is urgently required, from this moment forward.
Please govern yourself accordingly.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin

Mr. Slavin:
After a reasonable review, the City has found no records responsive to your request.
Additionally, under Florida law, the City of St. Augustine Beach is not required to give out information from records (Attorney General Opinion 80-57), nor is it required to answer questions regarding records (Attorney General Opinion 92-38). Therefore, the City does not respond to questions about records that are included in public records requests.
Sincerely,
Beverly Raddatz, MMC

Do you have a stop work order for the Mayor’s houses?

Dear Messrs. Wilson and Royle:
1. Please respond to my Request No. 2017-242 today.
2. Do I understand that work continues this week, with no stop work order?
3. If so, is it a badge of fraud that the City of St. Augustine Beach has not halted construction despite the 2.9 foot encroachment on the mandatory setback set forth in the conditional use permit?
Thank you.

St. Augustine Beach City Manager BRUCE MAX ROYLE, you failed. Horribly.
So did your staff. Miserably.
No one respects your illegal gag order and your unconstitutional effort to silence City Commissioners and to keep this local scandal from public discussion.
Your latest First Amendment violation has flopped:
First, this blog broke the news, with several stories commencing on Tuesday, May 23, 2017.
http://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2017/05/secrecy-in-st-augustine-beach-mayor.html
http://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2017/05/florida-courts-agree-if-buildings.html
Then, a code enforcement complaint was filed on May 28, 2017.
http://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2017/05/code-enforcement-complaints-filed-on.html
Now, mirabile dictu, the St. Augustine Record has a short story on Monday, May 29, 2017:
