Dear Public Information Requests Response Team Members,

Thank you for the question you posed to me in your August 24, 2020, e-mail reply letter (below) to me.

I am hereby revising my August 23, 2020, online public-information request by substituting the following text for the previous text that appeared in the first paragraph of that request:

“I am seeking a copy of any and all e-mail communications or other written communications referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that at any time between 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, and 8 a.m. August 24, 2020, were received by, or were produced, authored, forwarded, sent, mailed, e-mailed, or FAXed by:
---any of the certified peace officers for the City of Austin's Building Services Department who during the applicable nine-year period have had, or currently have, supervisory authority over safety or security at City Hall in downtown Austin; or
---any of the administrators of the City of Austin's Building Services Department whose job duties at any time during the applicable nine-year period either included or currently include supervising security or safety for City Hall."

Please note that this is the only change I am making to my August 23, 2020, online public-information request to the City of Austin. The remainder of my request will remain exactly the same as before.

I decided to focus my request on the City of Austin Building Services Department after finding the following factual statement tonight at that department's official webpage"The Building Services Department provides strategic facilities planning, custodial, carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, security, locksmith, property management, safety, project management, and mail services for city facilities." 

I have highlighted and increased the type size for some of the key words in that factual statement, because they struck me as being especially pertinent for this particular public-information request.

Thank you again for your prompt reply letter. I hope that this response to your question provides you with the information and clarification you need in order to promptly locate the responsive documents. 

Please do not hesitate to write to me or call me if you have any additional questions for me.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.

Re: Public Information Request of August 23, 2020, Reference # C077356-082320

Dear Mr. John Kevin McMillan,

The City of Austin received a public information request from you on August 23, 2020, to request copies of records pertaining to the following:

“I am seeking a copy of any and all written communications referring at least once in any manner to myself---among those possible written communications being e-mail communications, reports, crime reports, arrest records, memoranda, written requests, orders, directives and FAXed documents, for instance---that each of the State of Texas-certified peace officers stationed anywhere on the premises of the Austin City Hall complex at 301 West Second Street in downtown Austin for any period of time between 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, and 8 a.m. August 24, 2020, received, wrote, generated, produced, forwarded, sent, mailed, e-mailed, or FAXed.

EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all e-mail communications that were written exclusively 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 resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.
I am the founder and only current approved member of a new and non-Christian religion, the "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" (PPR), that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements. Several or more current or former Central Texans have told me they either dislike my "PPR" religion or are alienated by it or regard it as not being a true religion. Many Austin-area residents learned about my "PPR" religion by watching televised speeches I gave on behalf of my "PPR" religion on local community-access television here in Austin around the turn of the century.

One former Austin-area resident, Dr. Michael Kim McMillan, even volunteered to me with sharp indignation in his tone of voice and sharp antipathy and revulsion in his facial expression during a visit of his to downtown Austin around the turn of the century, that my one-member "Heaven on Earth"-minded Progressive Prohibitionist Religion "has inflicted Hell on this entire planet!"

My own primary landline home telephone number of (512) 342-2295 and my own primary e-mail address of "mcmillanj@att.net" have each remained the same throughout the entire nine-year time period of this public-information request.

During that same nine-year time period, I have resided at the following respective locations, listed chronologically below from oldest previous address to most recent current address, in my capacity as a rent-paying official tenant, or, for a brief multi-month period (when I resided in Apt. 902 at Village Oaks Apartments in Austin), as a apartment-management-team-approved rent-paying occupant:

---Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Building 3, Austin, TX 78759.
---Crossland Economy Studios (Extended Stay America), 12621 Hymeadow Road, Apt. 133 (a first-floor unit), Austin, TX 78729.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 902, Bldg. 9, Austin, TX 78759.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Bldg. 16, Austin, TX 78759.
---Austin Motor Inn, 11400 North Interstate Highway 35, a first-floor room, Austin, TX 78753.
---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Bldg. 17, Austin, TX 78753. 

Ever since June 21, 2019, I have resided alone as the only official rent-paying tenant and only apartment-management-team-approved official tenant in a solo-occupancy always-fully-bolt-locked and fully-locked second-floor efficiency apartment unit, Apt. 2418, situated in the northeastern corner of the Pebble Creek Apartments complex. My signed management-team-approved lease for my apartment unit clearly states that I am the only approved tenant and only approved occupant inside my current apartment unit at Pebble Creek Apartments.”

In order for the City of Austin to begin processing your request, we need additional clarification.

Could you please be more specific about what department(s) may have this information?

If you would like for the City of Austin to proceed with your public information request, please provide clarifications within sixty (60) calendar days from 08/24/2020. Otherwise, the City of Austin will consider your request closed.

You may provide a response to the City of Austin by any of the following methods:

  1. by responding to this email or
  2. by regular mail to City of Austin Law Department P.O. Box 1088, Austin, TX  78767 

Upon receipt of your clarification, the City of Austin will further respond to your Public Information Act Request as required by law, including providing you with an estimate of costs associated with producing the requested records.

If you have any questions, please contact my office at (512) 974-2268.

Thank you for contacting the City of Austin.
