As you know, the City recently received a public records request from Terry Scarlata. In that
request, it appears that she is requesting to inspect all litigation files, in the possession of the Florida
League of Cities, relating to any lawsuits filed by Jim Mikes against the City of Winter Springs
and/or any public official or person sued by Mikes for actions taken by them on behalf of the City
of Winter Springs. I have enclosed a copy of Ms. Scarlata's September 22, 2000 and October 10,
2000 letters for your information. I have also enclosed my October 23, 2000 letter to Ms. Scarlata.
During our previous telephone conversation you stated that you would make the relevant
Florida League of Cities files available to Ms. Scarlata in accordance with the Public Records Act.
As such, in my October 23, 2000 letter, I indicated to Ms. Scarlata that the City would make the
Florida League of Cities files available to her at the City of Winter Springs City Hall. Please advise
me when those files can be available for delivery to the City of Winter Springs. The City would
obviously return those files after Ms. Scarlata has had an opportunity to inspect and/or copy any of
the public records contained in those files. If delivery of the files to the City is a problem, please let
me know.

In addition, if any of the documents in the Florida League of Cities files are exempt from
public records disclosure, please identify those documents and indicate on what basis the Florida
League of Cities is claiming said exemption. Also, if there are any statutory fees for Ms. Scarlata
to obtain the records from the Florida League of Cities, please indicate what those fees will be.
Please advise when the files will be ready to be delivered to the City. In the interim, if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
erely,
