OFFICE PHONE: (512) 974-2220. OFFICE FAX: 512-974-2405.

November 15, 2019
Dear City of Austin Public Information Office Open Records Coordinator,

This is a Texas Open Records Act request in which I seek to obtain from the City Government of Austin a copy of any and all written communications, including e-mail communications, that were
generated or received or sent or mailed or forwarded or FAXed at any time since 8 a.m. March 13, 2017, on behalf of or by any attorney or administrator or other staff member employed in or by the City of Austin Law Department or City Attorney's Office here
in Austin, and that, in each and every such case, referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.
EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THIS PUBLIC-INFORMATION REQUEST ARE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE EXCLUSIVELY OR SOLELY WRITTEN BY MYSELF,  JOHN KEVIN McMILLAN OF AUSTIN.

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska. I have most recently resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

I am a gainfully employed single adult white male Austin resident of English, Scottish, and German ancestry. I am also a certified direct descendant of the Rev. William Brewster, the Puritan religious leader who served as head chaplain on the Mayflower and,
later, as a leading religious adviser to British Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford in what is currently territory lying in the U.S. state or Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I myself do not have any criminal-conviction record. I lead a permanently drinking-alcohol-free, longtime-celibate-by-choice, single-by-choice, lifelong-tobacco-free, permanently marijuana-free, lifelong-illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs
other than marijuana, lifelong-tattoo-less, facially-cleanshaven (no beard, no mustache, no goatee, etc.), civil and law-abiding and law-enforcement-minded, clean-talking (no profanity by me in my everyday conversations with other persons), non-gambling, lawfully
non-Christian and implicitly-deistic (non-atheistic), religiously independent (I'm the only approved current member of my non-proselytizing "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", an Honor Society new religion with very stringent membership-eligibility requirements)
lifestyle here in Austin.

During the time period applicable to this public-information request, I have resided as a rent-paying official tenant or rent-paying approved occupant at the following respective addresses at apartment complexes:

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 9, Apt. 902, Austin, Texas, 78759.

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759.

---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, Texas, 78753.

I have maintained the same primary e-mail address throughout the entire multi-year period applicable to this public-information request. That e-mail address is: mcmillanj@att.net .

My other current e-mail address, which I am using through my new cell phone service with AT&T, is goody2shoes2019@gmail.com.

My landline home phone number has remained the same throughout the entire time period applicable to this public-information request. That phone number for me is: (512) 342-2295.

My cell phone number, which I have had ever since I obtained my first-ever cell phone through AT&T in August of 2019, is: (512) 993-7305.

Thank you in advance for your very diligent and authoritative and thorough reply letter providing me with any and all responsive legal documents.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.
