Dear Public Information Request Team for the City of Austin (TX) Law Department,

Thank you for your reply note to me today. Your reply note indicates that the City of Austin Law Department will apparently need additional time in order to directly respond in writing to my August 6, 2020-dated online Open Records request focused on your City Attorney's Office (City of Austin Law Department) and me.

My August 6 public-information request had been focused on a very recent approximately nine-consecutive-month time period extending through 8 a.m. August 6, 2020, and had stated:
 
“I am seeking a copy of any and all written communications, including e-mail communications, that directly referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas, and that were typed or produced or generated or received or sent or mailed or forwarded or FAXed at any time from 8 a.m. November 15, 2019, through 8 a.m. August 6, 2020, 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, Texas.

"EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THIS PUBLIC-INFORMATION REQUEST ARE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE EXCLUSIVELY OR SOLELY WRITTEN BY MYSELF, OR WERE DIRECTLY E-MAILED TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BY MYSELF, JOHN KEVIN McMILLAN OF AUSTIN...."

Your reply letter to me today stated, and I quote from the two concluding paragraphs in the legal document below that you generated:

"Your Public Information Request Reference # C075621-080620 is still being processed.  The City of Austin will make the effort to ensure information you have requested is made available in a timely manner.  We anticipate completing your request on or before September 22 2020.

Re: Public Information Request of August 06, 2020, Reference # C075621-080620
 
Dear Mr. John Kevin McMillan,
 
The City of Austin received a Public Information request from you on August 06, 2020, to request copies of records pertaining to the following:
 
“I am seeking a copy of any and all written communications, including e-mail communications, that directly referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas, and that were typed or produced or generated or received or sent or mailed or forwarded or FAXed at any time from 8 a.m. November 15, 2019, through 8 a.m. August 6, 2020, 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, Texas.

EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THIS PUBLIC-INFORMATION REQUEST ARE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE EXCLUSIVELY OR SOLELY WRITTEN BY MYSELF, OR WERE DIRECTLY E-MAILED TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE 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 non-Hispanic 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.

Throughout the entire time period applicable to this public-information request, I have been and continue to be the only rent-paying official tenant and only apartment-management-team-approved occupant residing inside the second-floor, eastside, efficiency-apartment-unit Apartment 2418 of Building 17 at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, in northeast Austin.

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 e-mail address, which I have occasionally used 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.
Current home address: 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
