Hello,

I sent two very similar requests to your office. Both are in regards to the Citrus County Detention Facility, though one requests contracts/MOUs from Lecanto, FL and this one requests those records from Citrus County.

• All contracts (and their amendments) and memorandums of understanding entered into by Lecanto, Florida for services and activities related to the Citrus County Detention Facility (https://www.cca.com/facilities/citrus-county-detention-facility)

• All contracts (and their amendments) and memorandums of understanding entered into by Citrus County, Florida for services and activities related to the Citrus County Detention Facility (https://www.cca.com/facilities/citrus-county-detention-facility)

Should I send one of these requests to a different agency?

Thank you for your help!
Beryl

From: Tobey H. Phillips

Lecanto is not an incorporated city so “Lecanto” would not have any contracts/MOUs with CCA. I hope this explanation helps!

Hello Mr. Jones,

Thank you for your message. I'd be interested in permits since January 1, 2000, though if this results in extensive paperwork, I could further narrow my request.

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you,

From: NANCY J. COLOGNA

Thanks Jenette for forwarding this email to me.

This request was processed, a list of permits provided for review to determine what permit records he needed and as no reply was received, the ticket was closed. I have provided email communication to both emails of record from the public record request portal and from Outlook, as well as leaving a voice message to the phone number provided and I repeatedly asked that he contact me, however, to date I have not received a call or email directly to me. Instead he sends out emails like this to Tobey, Carl and now you. I’m beginning to think this is a prank. I am logging all these emails under the ticket in the portal.
