Subject: Re: 7-5-21 PIR re: Texas A&M-owned Texas Transportation Institute office in Austin, Belco Equities, and me

July 6, 2021

Dear Open Records Office Administrator Wendy J. Ramirez at the highly-regarded Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas,

Thank you for your reply letter today (below) that advised me to address my cited public-information request (below) directly to the Texas A&M University-owned Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).

May I ask which correct official e-mail address or addresses I can use in re-submitting my July 5, 2021, e-mail Open Records request (below) to the Texas A&M University-owned TTI?

My focus in my public information request is on the TTI office in Austin, Texas, and that TTI office's relationship with or communications with -- or about --- the highly-regarded Belco Equities for-profit corporation and Belco Equities officials or staff members.

Both the TTI office in Austin and the Belco Equities headquarters office in Austin are reportedly located at the same overall street address of 505 East Huntland Drive, Austin, TX 78752.

Incidentally, I am making some minor editing changes at this time to one total paragraph of my July 5 public-information request. That paragraph has been revised by me to now state:
"My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. My date of birth is April 27, 1957; my place of birth is Lincoln, Nebraska. I am an alumnus and former Salutatorian of Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas. I am also an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, and of the University of Minnesota Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Minneapolis."

Please note that I have inserted the above editing changes into the text of my July 5 public-information request, below:

Thank you in advance, Ms. Ramirez, for your prompt reply letter to me on this one follow-up question from me.

Best Wishes,
public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan.
My always-bolt-locked, solo-occupancy, efficiency-rental-apartment-unit home address (Apt. 2418) on a continuous basis ever since June 21, 2019:
Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco Equities-managed, large gated-community apartment complex  for which the owner of this complex is "Pebble Creek Babay, Ltd., dba (doing business as) Pebble Creek Apartments", according to my official new apartment-management-team-approved lease agreement for my current unit that has been officially applicable for me ever since July 1, 2021), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Building 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
Cell phone: (512) 993-7305.

Subject: 7-5-21 PIR re: Texas A&M-owned Texas Transportation Institute office in Austin, Belco Equities, and me

 

July 5, 2021

Dear Public Information Coordinator for the Texas A&M University-owned Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) office in Austin,

 

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail letters or other written communications or phone messages generated or written or sent  or received at any time since January 1, 2016, by an employee  or official of your TTI office in Austin, and that in each such case specifically comprise or refer to communications between your TTI office in Austin and a Belco Equities official or staff member.

 

I am also seeking from you a copy of any and all written communications generated by your Austin TTI office any time since January 1, 2016, that refer in any context to Belco Equities.

 

I am also seeking to obtain from you a copy of any personnel records on file with the TTI office in Austin that refer to an employee or official of your local TTI office at any time since January 1, 2016, having been or being currently currently employed in any context by, or on the payroll of, or having been or currently being a consultant to, Belco Equities., Inc., a highly-regarded apartment-management company reportedly headquartered here in Austin.

 

This public-information request was prompted by the very surprising coincidence I was reminded of this month through online research I pursued. The Texas A&M-owned Texas Transportation Institute office in Austin is reportedly located at the exact same overall street address in Austin, Texas, as the nationwide headquarters office for Belco Equities, Inc. That street address is: 505 East Huntland Drive, Austin, TX 78752.

 

The office phone number for the Texas A&M Texas Transportation Institute is: (512) 467-0946. The FAX number for the Texas A&M University-owned Texas Transportation Institute office in Austin is: 512-467-8971.

 

The official Texas A&M University website contains the following exact verbatim statement about the Texas A&M University-owned TTI office in Austin:

"The Austin Office of TTI enhances the Institute’s service to state and local sponsors by conducting independent and collaborative research, facilitating technology transfer, providing direct support and liaison to the Texas Department of Transportation, and promoting the benefits of transportation research in Central Texas. The Austin Office provides TTI with a physical presence in the capital city—an office close to our largest sponsor, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and the Texas Legislature. This office acts as a conduit for communication between TTI and TxDOT, as well as a “home port” for our researchers from other offices when they come into town for meetings."

 

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. My date of birth is April 27, 1957; my place of birth is Lincoln, Nebraska. I am an alumnus and former Salutatorian of Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas. I am also an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, and of the University of Minnesota Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Minneapolis.

I am a gainfully-employed, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free (on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since the late summer of 1990), permanently-marijuana-free (on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since the late fall of 1984), longtime-celibate (including on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since the day I moved to north Austin in August of 2001), platonicly polite, facially-cleanshaven (no beard, no mustache, no goatee), dependably civil and law-abiding and honest and law-enforcement-minded and vigilant, former full-time employee of the Texas Department of Public Safety state law-enforcement agency here in Austin. I have resided in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

 

I am a very recent criminal-law complainant with the Austin Police Department Sex Crimes Unit in alleged Home-Invasion-Crimes and alleged Sex Crimes Case Number 21-0830533. APD's Sex Crimes Unit opened that case for investigation on March 24, 2021. The APD-assigned investigator was the politely professional Detective William Costello of the APD Sex Crimes Unit. His official APD e-mail address is: william.costello@austintexas.gov .

 

I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.

My solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since June 21, 2019:
