Subject: 1-5-21 PIR re: APD Chief Manley, Asst. Chief Gay, Mayor Adler, Council Member Casar, and me

From: John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor. Current home address: Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco Equities-affiliated gated-community complex in northeast Austin), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Bldg. 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, Texas 78753.

A respectful FYI to each of you on my most recent public-information request to the Austin (TX) Police Department (APD), which I submitted online this afternoon at the official City of Austin website for submitting online public-information requests:

"I am seeking a copy of any and all e-mail communications or other written communications referring to me at least once in any manner that occurred from 12:01 a.m. June 21, 2019, until 3:45 p.m. January 5, 2021, between either APD Chief Manley or APD Chief of Staff Gay, and the office of Mayor Adler or the offices of District 4 City Council Member Casar.

"My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, NE. Ever since June 21, 2019, I have resided alone inside an always-bolt-locked solo-occupancy efficiency in District 4. My address: Pebble Creek Apts., 8805 N. Plaza Dr., Bldg. 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753. Home phone: (512) 342-2295. Cell: (512) 993-7305.

"This request was prompted by an exchange of e-mail letters I had with City Council Member Riley in 2012 that referred to any possible communications between Mr. Riley and APD in regard to me:

"One of the...officers, APD Officer James Turner...repeatedly and with very apparent anger toward me...(demanded)...that I 'cease and desist'...from...sending any...spy-camera infrared-photos...to any...member of the...City Council....
