Dear Mr. McCormack:
1. I asked for your contract on September 18, 2019 at 9:22 AM -- seven (7)  weeks and one day ago -- 50 days.
2. I am mystified as to the delay. 
3. Your maladroit approach to Open Records requests is indefensible, and must be ended at once.
4. Kindly honor your oath under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, from this day forward.
5. Enough discrimination, avoidance and delay from St. Johns County,
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin

Dear Mr. Slavin,
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your public records request.  St. Johns County will determine if it has any records that are responsive to your request.  If any such records are located, we will compile them and redact any exempt material prior to providing them to you.  Per St. Johns County Administrative Code 104.6, the County may request a deposit for costs if an extensive records search takes more than fifteen (15) minutes to locate, review for exempt information, copy (if requested), and re-file the requested material.  Should it be determined that the nature or volume of the public records requested requires the extensive use of information technology resources, or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, then we will first respond with an estimate of the additional charges for the actual costs incurred, and whether a deposit will be required.  In such instance, the records will be compiled only after you approve the charges and the County receives any required deposit.  Payment for the total or remaining costs can be made when the records are available.  If the actual cost is less than your deposit, you will be refunded the balance.  If you fail to provide the cost deposit within thirty (30) days, your request will be closed.
Thank you,
Betty Dixon
