Re: Criminal investigation into potential Florida Sunshine Law violations
Dear Inspector Green:
We have concluded our criminal investigation into the alleged Florida Sunshine Law violations that
were reported to our respective offices on February 28, 2018. Our investigation produced insufficient
admissible evidence to support criminal charges against any subject at this time. We are, therefore,
closing our file.
I am providing a copy of our closing memorandum and our summary investigative memorandum.
Both are self-explanatory. Although we are closing our investigation without prosecution, the records
and reports we obtained and generated during our investigation are available for your office's use, if
needed.
It has been a pleasure working with your Office on this matter, and we very much appreciate all of the
dedication and assistance that your Office provided with this important matter. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to cpntact me or our lead :µivestigator on this matter, Tim Adams.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chief ASA Heavener S.A. NO: 18SA015842AD
FROM: Investigators Adams and Zipperer CASE NO:
RE: ALLEGATIONS OF SUNSHINE LAW S.I. NO:

VIOLATIONS
DATE: 02/11/19
I. Initiation of Investigation
Captioned investigation 1 was initiated based on information provided by the City of Jacksonville
(COJ) Mayor's Office and the COJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) related to possible
violations of Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law, Florida Statutes, Chapter 286 (hereafter
"Sunshine Law"). This information included an allegation related to a COJ City Council Member
purportedly offering to deliver a block of votes for City Council President.
The initial telephone record2 analysis conducted by the COJ OIG indicated possible Sunshine
Law violations involving COJ City Council Members. Specifically, in May of 2018, the COJ OIG
provided preliminary findings of telephone record analysis which identified substantial telephonic
contact between City Council Members Garrett Dennis and Anna Lopez Brosche. Additionally, the
telephone record analysis was compared with the dates and times of City Council meetings for
the relevant period of time (See Below). The preliminary findings by the COJ OIG included a
possible correlation between contacts and significant City Council meetings or hearings.
II. Telephone Record Analysis
The initial allegations were received by the State Attorney's

1
Office on February 28, 2018. The investigation was assigned to

Investigator Adams on May 15, 2018.
The initial analysis was based on records obtained in
2
response to an investigative subpoena for telephone number (904)

887-1870 (Dennis) issued on March 16, 2018.
ATTORNEY DATETYPED. SECRETARY 'INVESTIGATOR/AUDITOR PAGE
Heavener Adams/Zipperer 1
The initial steps of the investigation focused on additional telephone record analysis3 by the
COJ OIG. Records were received in response to investigative subpoenas for telephone numbers
(904) 887-1870 (Dennis); (904) 537-7202 (Brosche); (904) 753-8395 (Katrina Brown); (904) 424-
0963 (Sam Newby); (904) 703-7642 (Jeneen Sanders); and (904) 710-7100 (John Crescimbeni)
for relevant time periods4 . [Note: Consideration was given to obtaining telephone records for all
City Council Members. In addition to insufficient predication, such an investigative step would
have been well beyond the scope of the initial complaint and the preliminary findings related to
possible Sunshine Law violations. There were also investigative limitations related to obtaining
content of communications as noted below. Additionally, telephone records which further
established contacts between City Council Members without information related to the content of
the communications, as well as the analysis of records for additional telephone numbers or
continued analysis of the records obtained, would not substantively further the investigation.
Consequently, no further analysis was conducted].
As set forth in Exhibit 1 (copies of subpoenas included), the telephone record analysis
identified numerous calls between Dennis and Jeneen Sanders, the Executive Council Assistant
to Brosche; Dennis and Brosche; Dennis and City Council Member Katrina Brown; Katrina Brown
and City Council Member Reggie Brown; Katrina Brown and City Council Member Reggie
Gaffney; and Katrina Brown and City Council Member Sam Newby. Other calls between City
Council Members were also identified. Below is a further breakdown of the analysis conducted
by the COJ OIG.
Investigative subpoenas were issued on May 31, 2018, for

3
telephone numbers (904) 753-8395 (K. Brown); (904) 537-7202

(Brosche) and (904) 887-1870 (Dennis). Subpoenas were also issued
on July 18, 2018, for telephone numbers (904) 703-7642 (Sanders);
(904) 710-7100 (Crescimbeni); (904) 424-0963 (Newby) and (904) 753-
8395 (K. Brown). Additional subpoenas were issued on September 28,
2018, for telephone numbers (904) 887-1870 (Dennis) and (904) 537-
7202 (Brosche). On October 19, 2018, another subpoena was issued
for telephone number (904) 537-7202 after it was determined the
carrier for this telephone number had been changed in July of 2018.
Some of the telephone record providers included text message
4
contacts. It should also be noted that without information related

to the content of communications, as further described below, it is
not known if duplicate information (telephone or text message
contacts) was provided. The COJ OIG analysis was based solely on
the records produced by the providers.

G. Analysis of Telephone Records in Relation to City Council Meetings
As set forth in Exhibit 2, the COJ OIG investigation included the analysis of the telephone
records in relation to a time line of City Council meetings for relevant periods of time. This
analysis showed that Dennis regularly communicated with Brosche, Katrina Brown and other City
Council Members around the time of meetings.
H. Significant Findings from Initial Telephone Record Analysis
1. The number of calls between Dennis and Sanders; Dennis and Brosche; Dennis and
Katrina Brown; Katrina Brown and Reggie Brown; Katrina Brown and Reggie Gaffney; and
Katrina Brown and Sam Newby seemed excessive in the absence of additional information
related to outside business, personal, or other relationships between these parties. (Note: As
described below, after being informed of the results of the telephone record analysis during an
interview, Sanders identified Dennis as her friend but would not provide additional information
about their relationship. She provided additional information in a later sworn statement. The
additional information, however, was very limited).
2. As noted above, the contacts between Dennis and Brosche discontinued for a period of
time and were significantly reduced during the last time period analyzed. No information was
developed to indicate a reason why the telephone contacts suddenly ceased or significantly
decreased. It should be noted that the frequency of these communications ceased shortly after
the initial complaint and around the time the first subpoenas were served.
3. The analysis of Crescimbeni's telephone records identified contacts with other City Council
Members. These contacts, however, were significantly less in frequency and duration compared
to the results of the analysis of other telephone records.
Ill. Interviews
A. Procedures
During the period from August 29, 2018, to September 19, 2018, current City Council
Members, certain Executive Council Assistants and members of the Mayor's Office were
interviewed (This date range is for the initial interviews conducted as part of this investigation.
Additional follow up interviews were conducted after this time period). The interviews were
facilitated through direct contacts requesting voluntary interviews at a convenient time and
location for the interviewees. The interviews were also structured through the use of a standard
guideline for the questions (See Exhibit 3). Additionally, all of the interviewees associated with
the City Council were asked to review and sign a letter from the Chief Investigator related to the
complaints about potential non-compliance with the Sunshine Law. If appropriate, some
interviewees were also asked for consent to search telephones for information related to this
investigation. Consent was either refused or revoked after the COJ Office of the General Counse
(OGG) became involved (as noted below). Attached is a copy of the consent form used (See
Exhibit 4) .
(Note: It is this office's understanding that, after the first few interviews, representatives of the
COJ OGC coordinated with those who had not yet been interviewed to attend their interviews.
Concerns about the scope of OGC's representation and attendance at the interviews were raised
during some of the interviews. An OGC representative, however, continued to attend the
interviews. It was the opinion of several of the Investigators that this had a chilling effect on some
of the interviews. The interviews were continued, though, in an effort to gather relevant
information in a timely manner).
B. Information Developed from Interviews
Some of the significant information obtained from the interviews is set forth below. (The
reports of the interviews conducted, including follow up contacts, are attached. (See Exhibit 5).
1. No City Council Members identified relationships with other members outside of City
Council business that would involve a substantial volume of communications and contacts
outside of City Council meetings or hearings. As such, the purpose for the contacts between the
parties identified through the telephone record analysis has not been determined.
2. Although the information in the original allegation related to possible Sunshine Law
violations involving the delivery of a block of votes for City Council President, this allegation was
not fully corroborated, but the results of the interviews identified other possible Sunshine Law
violations. Specifically, some of the City Council Members referenced possible violations related
to the election of Brosche as City Council President in 2017.
3. Additionally, some of the interviewees noted that, following Brosche's election as City
Council President in 2017, Dennis was named the Chairman of the Finance Committee. City
Council Members Katrina Brown, Reginald Gaffney, and Reggie Brown, who also all voted for
Brosche, were named to this committee. The committee was described as significant because
it involved approval of certain funding. No direct information was developed to determine if the
committee took any specific action to benefit any of the City Council Members, or associates,
during that time.
4. During his initial interview, current City Council President Aaron Bowman provided
information about Dennis attempting to sway or influence the vote for the 2018 election for City
Council President against Bowman. He was not comfortable, however, providing the names of
the individuals who told him about Dennis's activities or discussed the matter with him (Bowman).
During his second interview, City Council Member Tommy Hazouri said he told Bowman that
Dennis was trying to undermine him (Bowman) by saying he could not be trusted. As such,
Hazouri was initially believed to be one of the individuals Bowman mentioned and corroborated
Bowman's information. This was confirmed during a second interview with Bowman as described
below.
5. As noted above, the telephone record analysis indicated that Brosche had substantial
telephonic contacts with Dennis until March 14, 2018. During her interview, she did not provide
information that would assist in understanding the volume of contacts with Dennis or a reason
for the discontinuation or significant reduction in contacts (Note: The results of the telephone
ATTORNEY DATE TYPED SECRETARY INVESTIGATOR /AUDITOR PAGE
record analysis were not shared with Brosche during the interview). Brosche indicated she had
been in contact with other City Council Members outside of official hearings or proceedings but
not about City Council business. She provided examples of contacts regarding times of meetings
or whether another member was going to an event. Brosche said she otherwise does not
regularly contact other City Council Members for matters unrelated to City Council business.
6. During Dennis's interview, he indicated that he knew all about the Sunshine Law and had
nothing to hide. When asked about communications between City Council matters after hours
on the phone, Dennis stated "all he did was play golf and didn't have time for all of that." These
statements were not consistent with the information obtained from the other interviews or the
telephone record analysis. (Note: The results of the telephone record analysis were not shared
with Dennis during the interview). Additionally, Dennis was the primary City Council Member
identified by several of the individuals interviewed as communicating with other City Council
Members outside of official meetings or public hearings.
7. During the interview of Sanders, she was advised that the investigation identified over
seventeen hundred (1700) calls between her and Dennis. She responded that they were friends
but would not provide additional information. She also said she was not asked to facilitate
contacts on Brosche's behalf. The volume of contacts between the telephone numbers
associated with Sanders and Dennis was substantial and was almost double the number of
contacts Dennis had with the telephone number associated with his wife during certain time
periods. (It should be noted that other telephone numbers may have been used by the individuals
involved in this investigation during the relevant periods of time; however, no additional numbers
were identified).
8. Sandra Lane Smith, the former Executive Council Assistant (ECA) to Dennis was contacted
for a follow up interview. Smith indicated that she had previously provided a statement to the
State Attorney's Office and was not interested in being interviewed again. Sh� also noted that
her employment as an ECA to Dennis was terminated on November 28, 2018. Smith explained
that, following the City Council meeting on November 27, 2018, Sam Mousa, Brian Hughes and
Dennis had an argument. During the argument, a reference was made to Smith seeking another
position within the City of Jacksonville Administration. The next day, Dennis terminated Smith's
employment. Smith, however, indicated that she was not interested in being interviewed further.
9. Although information was provided that Crescimbeni had been approached by Dennis
about a block of votes, Crescimbeni denied any such contact. Crescimbeni was interviewed
again about this matter just before the investigation was concluded. He said he had no
recollection of Dennis approaching him about the votes.
10. Counsel for both Brosche and Dennis were contacted just prior to this case being closed
to afford an opportunity to provide additional information. Dennis's attorney indicated that no
additional information would be provided. Brosche's attorney·indicated the same.
11. Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips was also contacted just prior to this case being
closed to afford an opportunity for Newby and Gaffney to provide additional information. Phillips
indicated that both Gaffney and Newby said they talk with other City Council Members about
ATTORNEY DATE TYPED SECRETARY , · .·

INVESTIGATOR /AUDITOR PAGE
matters unrelated to council business. Neither had additional information but indicated they would
both be willing to answer specific questions, if needed.
C. Subpoenas for Sworn Statements
The results of the interviews and investigation identified several inconsistencies in statements.
Consequently, a decision was made to serve subpoenas to compel testimony. Efforts were made
to facilitate service of the subpoenas through the COJ OGC.
1. On November 26, 2018, Jeneen Sanders was scheduled to appear at the State Attorney's
Office pursuant to a subpoena. The appearance was initially postponed at the request of her
attorney. Sanders provided a sworn statement on January 7, 2019. The statement was provided
at the State Attorney's Office and Sanders was represented by counsel. No new material
information was provided during the statement. Despite the sworn statement, an understanding
of the volume of contacts between Sanders and Dennis is still not clear. (See Exhibit 6
transcript).
2. This office was prepared to issue a subpoena to compel Bowman to provide the names of
certain City Council members who had talked with him about Dennis's efforts to influence the City
Council President election involving Bowman. This matter was discussed with Bowman during
the initial interview but he was not comfortable providing the names at that time, as noted above.
· Bowman agreed to be interviewed further about the names of these City Council members in lieu
of providing a sworn statement pursuant to a subpoena. As such, a subsequent interview of
Bowman was conducted on December 14, 2018. During the interview, Bowman said that City
Council Member Katrina Brown told him that Dennis was saying bad things about him (Bowman)
and was possibly doing it to get them not to vote for Bowman as President. Bowman also said
Hazouri told him (Bowman) .that Dennis made claims about Bowman's support for a City Council
Member who was running for Vice President. According to Bowman, the claims were not true.
Additionally, City Council Members Gaffney and Newby both told Bowman (separately) that
Dennis told them he (Dennis) could not vote for Bowman but did not specifically ask them not to
vote for him (Bowman).
3. This office was prepared to issue a subpoena to compel Crescimbeni to provide additional
information about whether he had been approached about votes to be elected City Council
President. Crescimbeni agreed to be interviewed further in lieu of providing a sworn statement
pursuant to a subpoena. As such, a subsequent interview of Crescimbeni was conducted on
December 20, 2018. During the interview, Crescimbeni said he was never approached by Dennis
about providing votes for him (Crescimbeni) to be elected President of the City Council.
Crescimbeni believed, however, that such a situation occurred in 2017 when Brosche was
elected City Council President.
IV. Investigative Limitations
A violation of the Sunshine Law is classified under the Florida Statutes as a non-criminal
infraction or, if knowingly violated, a Second Degree Misdemeanor. Consequently, there were
ATTORNEY DATE TYPED SECRETARY INVESflGATORJAUDITOR PAGE
limitations as to investigative methods and tools used in this investigation. In consultation with
Chief Assistant Heavener, it was determined that more intrusive investigative techniques, such
as search warrants or wiretaps, were not authorized due to the classification of the violation and
the absence of sufficient probable cause. As such, the content of communications between City
Council Members and others was not obtained during the course of the investigation.
V. Conclusion
This investigation was initially undertaken cautiously to ensure there was sufficient predication
beyond a mere allegation. As such, this office did not commit to a full investigation until additional
facts were developed. Once information from the telephone records was analyzed, sufficient
predication was established since the analysis indicated possible violations of the Sunshine Law.
It was also determined that the available investigative techniques were limited due to the
classification of the potential crime being investigated. More intrusive techniques, which could
have determined the content of communications, were not authorized. Consequently, the
investigation was limited to telephone record analysis, interviews, sworn statements and related
techniques.
Because of the limitations regarding the use of certain investigative techniques, subpoenas
to compel testimony were necessary. Although the results of the interviews and investigation
identified several inconsistencies in the statements provided, and a determination that some of
the interviewees appeared to not be completely forthcoming, a decision was made to use
subpoenas to compel testimony only for certain witnesses. This was due primarily to the
immunity protections provided for sworn statements. Subpoenas for sworn statements were used
selectively to ensure there would be no bar to future criminal prosecution if information was
developed indicating a criminal purpose for the contacts identified as part of this investigation.
As noted above, the telephone record analysis identified significant contacts between Dennis
and Brosche; Dennis and Sanders; Dennis and Katrina Brown; Katrina Brown and Reggie Brown;
Katrina Brown and Reggie Gaffney; and Katrina Brown and Sam Newby. Contacts between
other City Council Members were also identified. The analysis of the telephone records in relation
to the dates and times of City Council meetings (as identified in the COJ OIG investigation) was
also significant because of the specific timing and volume of contacts between the parties.
Although the specific allegations related to delivering a block of votes for City Council
President were not fully corroborated through interviews, other information related to possible
Sunshine Law violations was identified. Some of the information provided by those interviewed,
however, was not consistent with the telephone record analysis or information developed from
other interviews.
Although the investigation identified a pattern of conduct involving substantial communications

between City Council Members, and at least one Executive Council Assistant, without a clear
reason or justification, as well as other concerning conduct, criminal prosecution for Sunshine
Law violations can not be pursued, at this time, without the content of the communications. As
ATTORNEY DATE.TYPED SECRETARY INVESTIGATOR/ AUD.ITOR PAGE
such, it is recommended that the investigation specifically focusing on Sunshine Law violations
related to City Council matters, as set forth in the initial allegation and identified through the COJ
OIG telephone record analysis, be closed.

OIG INVESTIGATION NUMBER 2018-0006
At the request of the Office of the State Attorney (SAO), Fourth Judicial Circuit, the Office of
Inspector General (OIG), reviewed and analyzed telephone records for the following
individuals: 1
1. (904) 887-1870-Council Member Garrett Dennis (Dennis)

2. (904) 537-7202-Council Member Anna Brosche (Brosche)
3. (904) 753-8395 - Council Member Katrina Brown (K. Brown)
4. (904) 424-0963 - Council Member Samuel Newby (Newby)
The OIG analyzed telephone contacts between each of the aforementioned four Council
Members (CM) and all of the other Council Members. The OIG also analyzed telephone
contacts between CM Dennis and· CM Brosche's Executive Council Assistant (ECA), Jeneen
Sanders (Sanders), and also between CM Brosche and ECA Sanders due to the volume of calls.
Also, after discussions with the SAO, the OIG included Dennis' wife's personal cellphone
number in its analysis of Dennis' telephone records.
(-,
The date range noted on the charts that follow are based upon the dates reflected in the telephone
records provided to the OIG. Some of these telephone records were provided by the respective
carriers in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format2 and were converted to either Eastern
Daylight Time (EDT) or Eastern Standard Time (EST). Therefore, some of the telephone
records were outside of the initial date range noted in the provided telephone records upon
conversion to either EDT or EST.
Per a review of the telephone records, the carriers listed some calls as duplicate calls. For
example, a call which was forwarded to a voicemail was counted as two separate calls.
However, this occurred infrequently as compared to the overall number of telephone calls.
In addition, the overall duration times listed in the below tables for CM K. Brown, CM Brosche,
and CM Newby are slightly inflated as their carriers noted "60" in the duration field even though
the call type was classified as a text message (and thus had no duration). This occurred

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE
SUPPLEMENTAL
ANALYSIS OF COUNCIL MEMBER TO MEMBER
PHONE CALLS
OIG INVESTIGATION NUMBER 2018-0006
At the request of the Office of the State Attorney (SAO), Fourth Judicial Circuit, the Office of
Inspector General (OIG), reviewed and analyzed telephone records for the following individuals:
1. (904) 710-7100-Council Member John Crescimbeni (Crescimbeni)

2. (904) 703-7642-Executive Council Assistant Jeneen Sanders 1 (Sanders)
The OIG analyzed telephone contacts between each of these individuals and all of the Council
Members.
The date range noted on the charts that follow are based upon the dates reflected in the telephone
records provided to the OIG. The telephone records were provided by the carrier in Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) format2 and were converted to either Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) or
Eastern Standard Time (EST). Therefore, some of the telephone records were outside of the
initial date range noted in the provided telephone records upon conversion to either EDT or EST.
Per a review of the telephone records, the carriers listed some calls as duplicate calls. For
example, a call which was forwarded to a voicemail was counted as two separate calls.
However, this occurred infrequently as compared to the overall number of telephone calls.
The OIG was unable to convert the call duration data provided by the carrier for Crescimbeni
and Sanders into a usable format. While the OIG manually entered the call duration data for the
analysis of Crescimbeni's telephone contacts, the OIG did not do so for the analysis of Sanders'
telephone contacts due to the volume of telephone contacts.
It should be noted that Crescimbeni's and Sanders' carrier did not appear to provide any text
message records.
1
Sanders is the Executive Council Assistant to Council Member Anna Brosche.
2 UTC is a timescale used as a median for other time zones, similar to Greenwich Mean Time. UTC is four hours ahead of EDT
and five hours ahead of EST.

Subject: Interview Councilman Garrett Dennis
August 29, 2018, 1015 hours- I and Chief Investigator Tim Quick arrived at the office of Councilman Garret Dennis on the
4th
floor of City Hall. Councilman Dennis's Assistant, Sandra Lane- Smith was also present during the interview. After a
brief introduction, Chief Investigator Quick stated the purpose of the meeting. The councilman agreed to talk and said he
"knew all about the Sunshine Laws and he had nothing to hide". Investigator Quick asked if h� was aware of any
communication between council members after hours on the phone. The councilman stated "all he did was play golf and
he didn't have time for all of that". Before proceeding further, Investigator Quick presented the councilman with a
prepared letter from the State Attorney's Office. The Councilman reviewed the letter and stated that he would prefer to
speak with legal counsel before talking any further. I then told the councilman to be prepared to discuss any violations of
the Sunshine Laws committed either by him or other members of the City Council. After providing the councilman with
our business cards and advising him that he could call if he had any questions, we concluded the meeting. As we were
leaving the office the councilman said he would be in touch.
1030 hours- Meeting concluded.

VIOLATIONS
DATE: 08/29/2018
On August 29, 2018, at approximately 11:50 a.m., Jacksonville City Council Member Anne
Lopez Brosche (hereafter "Brosche") was interviewed in the parking lot of the Duval County
Supervisor of Elections Election Center, 1 Imeson Park Blvd., Jacksonville, Florida. During the
interview, Brosche provided the following information:
Brosche was not aware of any allegations, and did not have specific information, related to
possible Sunshine Law violations by members of the Jacksonville City Council (hereafter "City
Council").
Brosche has been in contact with other members of City Council outside of official hearings
or proceedings but not about City Council business. As an example, Brosche noted that she has
communicated with other City Council members regarding the times of meetings or whether one
of the members was going to an event.
Brosche said she has communicated with City Council Members Matt Schellenberg, Al
Ferraro, Sam Newby and Garrett Dennis outside of official hearings or proceedings as described
above. She identified Garrett Dennis as the council member she communicates with the most.
She also talks with John Crescimbeni sometimes and occasionally talks with Tommy Hazouri.
. Brosche did not know of any other members who were contacted by City Council members
about council matters outside of official hearings or proceedings.
Other than as described above, Brosche does not regularly contact other City Council
members for matters unrelated to council business.
Brosche was not aware of other council members who maintain regular contact for matters

unrelated to council business.
Brosche indicated that she did not have a city issued telephone. She uses her personal mobile
phone to text her assistant and facilitate matters as described above but not otherwise for City
Council related matters.
Brosche did not know of other City Council members who use their personal phones, phone
apps and/or email addresses for City Council related matters.
Brosche mentioned that she attended a public notice hearing related to possible Sunshine Law
violations involving Council Members Garrett Dennis and Aaron Bowman. At some point,
Bowman had alleged Sunshine Law violations in relation to the City Council leadership elect'ion.
Brosche was also aware of some discussions about an article describing Sunshine Law violations
which mentioned three Assistant State Attorneys. She believed this article was in Florida Politics.
Brosche did not have any suggestions as to who else should be interviewed regarding these
allegations. She also did not have additional information to assist in the investigation at this time.
At the conclusion of the interview, Brosche read and signed the letter from Chief Investigator
Tim Quick related to the complaints about potential non-compliance with Florida's Government
in the Sunshine laws. The Investigators
I
agreed to provide Brosche a copy of the letter at a later
time. (Note: On the same date, Brosche requested, via text, that Investigator Adams not send the
copy via email. A copy of the text communications with Brosche will be maintained in the case
file.)

Hazouri was not aware of any allegations related to possible Sunshine Law violations by
members of the Jacksonville City Council (hereafter "City Council"). Hazouri noted, though, that
he did not recall any Sunshine notices when Anna Lopez Brosche became City Council President.
He said there may have been such notices, but he did recall any, and Brosche received the votes
necessary to be selected President.
Hazouri has not been contacted by another City Council member about council matters outside
of official hearings or proceedings.
Hazouri did not know of any other members who were contacted by City Council members
about council matters outside of official hearings or proceedings. He noted, though, that he was
the subject of a lawsuit related to Sunshine Law violations. The lawsuit details certain contacts
between City Council members.
Hazouri does not regularly contact other members of the City Council for matters unrelated to
council business. He had a few calls some time ago with other members but these contacts were
not about votes. The calls related to whether they had seen an article in the newspaper or similar
topics. Hazouri is in contact with current City Council President Bowman, though, because he
(Hazouri) is the Rules Chairman. Hazouri has talked with Bowman about process but nothing
substantive.

Hazouri did not know of any other council members who maintain regular contact for matters
unrelated to council business.
Hazouri said he does not use his personal phone, phone apps or email address for City
Council related matters except calls related to committee meetings, such as the length of the
meeting. Any other calls would have been about process and nothing substantive. He has had
more contacts with other City Council members since he became the Rules Chairman.
Hazouri did not know of any other City Council members who use their personal phone, phone
apps or email address for City Council related matters.
Hazouri was asked if he could suggest anyone else the Investigators should speak with about
these allegations. Hazouri responded that people in zoning who deal with the zoning commission
should be interviewed.
At the conclusion of the interview, Hazouri read and signed the letter from Chief Investigator
in the Sunshine laws. At the time, Hazouri invited Deputy General Counsels Jon R. Phillips and
. Margaret Sidman from the City of Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, into the interview.
Deputy General Counsel Phillips also reviewed the letter. Hazouri was provided with a copy of the

VIOLATIONS
DATE: 09/05/2018
. On September 5, 2018, at approximately 12:30 p.m., Jacksonville City Council President

Aaron Bowman (hereafter "Bowman") was interviewed in his office at Jacksonville City Hall, 117
W. Duval Street, #425, Jacksonville, Florida. Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips from the
City of Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, was also present for the interview. During the
interview, Bowman provided the following information:
Bowman explained that the leadership election for the Jacksonville City Council (hereafter "City
Council") is typically held during the third week of May. In January, if a City Council member is
int�rested in a leadership position, that member sends a letter to the City Council expressing an
interest in being considered. That member then schedules meetings with the City Council
members to discuss further.
A Special Council meeting is held to elect the Vice President and President of the City Council.
Bowman explained that pledge letters may also be submitted at meetings for the members to
show support for a particular candidate. The pledge letters, though, are not binding.
In January of 2018, Bowman sent a letter to the City Council members expressing his interest
in being considered for a leadership position. Sometime after sending the letter, Bowman had
meetings with City Council members.
By the end of March of 2018, Bowman believed he had fourteen (14) City Council members
who supported him for a leadership position. As such, he believed he would win the election for
President of the City Council.
In late January or early February, a City Council member told Bowman that another City
Council member, Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis"), was trying to sway the City Council vote for
President. Bowman was also told that Dennis was talking bad about him (Bowman).
ATTORNEY DATE TYPED SECRETARY INVESTIGATOR /AUDITOR PAGE
Heavener 9/05/18 Quick/Adams 1

Approximately two to three weeks later, a different City Council member came to Bowman and
told him Dennis was trying to get the member to influence the vote. This same City Council
1 member contacted Bowman approximately two weeks later and repeated what he or she
previously said about Dennis and added that Dennis said Bowman could not be trusted because
he (Bowman) had committed to running for Vice President but then changed to run for President..
In approximately the beginning of May 2018, possibly on the weekend of The Players
Championship, Bowman was told that Dennis had also talked with two other City Council
members. Bowman contacted these members and asked if Dennis attempted to convince them
not to vote for Bowman. These City Council members told Bowman that Dennis had explained
to them the reasons he (Dennis) could not vote for Bowman.
Bowman then called Dennis and confronted him about his contacts with the other City Council
members. Bowman tolq Dennis he was tired of him (Dennis) trying to influence the City Council
President election and to stop. Dennis denied that he was involved in efforts to influence the
election. Bowman told Dennis that his actions were a violation of the Sunshine Laws and that they
should meet with Carla Miller (hereafter "Miller"). Bowman also emailed Miller about this matter.
(Note: Miller is the Director of the City of Jacksonville Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight).
An hour or two after Bowman contacted Dennis, Dennis sent an email to Bowman indicating
that he (Dennis) would only address these allegations in a public meeting. Bowman responded,
via email, that he would not address the matter at a public hearing. Dennis later held the public
meeting but Bowman did not attend. The day after the public hearing, Bowman spoke with Miller
about this matter.
Bowman has not heard anything further related to this matter or Dennis. As far as he
(Bowman) knew, Dennis had stopped talking with the other City Council members as he
(Bowman) had explained to the Investigators. Bowman also noted that Dennis actually voted for
him for City Council President. Bowman did not have additional information about possible
Sunshine Law violations.
Bowman has attempted to build what he described as a tight team of City Council members.
He has attempted to do this through attendance together at football games, a hockey game and
two to three lunches. He did not believe, though, that these efforts were productive. City Council
matters were never discussed at these events.
Bowman explained that approximately ninety percent of the City Council votes are unanimous.
Most issues are submitted through a committee. Consequently, the City Council members
generally have an idea of how a vote will result once it is submitted to the City Council for a final
vote.
Bowman does not have a city issued telephone. He uses his personal phone to communicate
with other City Council members. Bowman has a personal email address in addition to his City
of Jacksonville (COJ) email account. Sometimes he receives City Council related emails in his
personal email account. When this happens, he typically changes his personal email address on
the communication to ensure it is associated with his COJ email account. Bowman also takes
ATTORNEY' DATE.TYPED SECRETARY INVESTIGATOR/ AUDITOR PAGE

precautions to ensure the emails are preserved properly.
Bowman does not use phone apps to communicate with other City Council members. He does
text occasionally with other City Council members, though. As an example, he may wish them a
Happy Fourth of July via text. Bowman does not, however, communicate with them about City
Council business, such as legislative or process matters.
Brown explained that the recent hurricanes in Jacksonville highlighted the need for the City
Council members to be able to communicate. As such, Bowman has all of the cell phone numbers
of the other City Council members.
Bowman pointed out that he had previously been the subject of a lawsuit related to text
message communications made in violation of the Sunshine Laws. He mentioned that this lawsuit
was an eye opener for him regarding the requirements of the laws. The lawsuit has since been
settled in relation to Bowman.
According to Bowman, Miller previously advised the City Council members that they should
not discuss leadership matters outside of the City Council meetings.
Bowman is interested in looking into the leadership election process due, in part, to issues
related to possible Sunshine Law violations. His primary reason for looking into the process,
though, relates to occasions when City Council members expect to be elected to certain positions,
and invite family and friends to hear the election results. They are sometimes embarrassed when
the results are announced and they are not elected.
At the conclusion of the interview, Bowman read and signed the letter from Chief Investigator
Tim Quick related to the complaints about potential non-compliance with Florida's Govemment
in the Sunshine laws. The Investigators agreed to provide Bowman with a copy of the letter at a
later date.

VIOLATIONS
DATE: 09/06/2018
On September 6, 2018, at approximately 3:10 p.m., Jacksonville City Council Member John
Crescimbeni (hereafter "Crescimbeni") was interviewed in his office at Jacksonville City Hall, 117
W. Duval Street, #425, Jacksonville, Florida. Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips from the City
of Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, was also present for the interview. During the
interview, Crescimbeni provided the following information:
Crescimbeni was aware of a notice meeting in May of 2018 held by Jacksonville City Council
(hereafter "City Council") Member Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis"). Crescimbeni could not
recall tfle details of the hearing but believed it involved possible Sunshine Law violations.
f
Crescimbeni did not have specific in ormation related to possible violations of Sunshine Laws
but has had colleagues inadvertently start conversations with statements he considered to
possibly be related to City Council business. When this occurred, Crescimbeni stopped the
conversations to ensure City Council business was not discussed. Crescimbeni has not otherwise
been contacted by another City Council member about council matters outside of official hearings
or proceedings.
Crescimbeni did not know of any City Council members who were contacted by other members
about council matters outside of official hearings or proceedings. Crescimbeni did, however, point
out two situations which raised concerns for him about communications between City Council
members.
The first situation involved the controversy related to the sale of the Jacksonville Electric
Authority (hereafter "JEA"). During this controversy, City Council Member Anna Lopez Brosche
("Brosche"), who was President at the time, formed a committee for which Crescimbeni was the
Chairman. At one of the committee meetings, Brosche decided to take statements under oath and
DAT.ET.'f.PEO. SECRl:'rARY INVES:rlG.A:TO.Ft/·AUDITOR
Heavener 9/06/18 Adams/Zipperer 1

use subpoenas. The next committee meeting was held a short time later. During this meeting, one
of the committee members made a motion to disband the committee. The.. motion received
significant support but narrowly failed. Crescimbeni could not understand how so many committee
members were in agreement with a motion that was unexpecfod.
Crescimbeni also described a situation during the time he was the Vice President of the City
Council. At the time, he decided to run for City Council President. Usually, the Vice President is
elected President for the next term. Crescimbeni lost, however, to Brosche by a vote of eleven to
eight. Crescimbeni noted that City Council members Katrina Brown, Garrett Dennis, Reggie
Brown and Reginald Gaffney had voted for Brosche. After the election, all of these City Council
members were selected for the City Council Finance Committee. Crescimbeni described this
committee as very significant since it involved the approval of funding. Crescimbeni added that
most of the City Council members wanted to be on this committee. Dennis was the Chairman of
this committee at the time.
Crescimbeni also noted that in one of the City Council elections, Gaffney pledged to vote for
�mother City Council member for Vice President but eventually voted for Crescimbeni. When
Crescimbeni ran for President, however, Gaffney did not vote for him.
Crescimbeni denied that he was ever approached about a block of votes in relation to City
Council elections.
Crescimbeni occasionally communicates with City Council member Bill Gulliford (hereafter
"Gulliford") about matters unrelated to City Council business. As an example, he texted Gulliford
about a cabin he saw when he was in New Mexico during a time when Gulliford was in Montana:
Crescimbeni was not aware of other City Council members who maintained regular contact
for matters unrelated to council business.
Crescimbeni does not have a phone issued by the City of Jacksonville (COJ). The COJ
provides him with an allowance based on his phone bill. Crescimbeni did not believe any of the
other City Council members had COJ issued phones. Any communications Crescimbeni would
be required to preserve are maintained on his phone. He does not have any other specific
mechanism to preserve communications.
Although he did not have specific information, Crescimbeni suggested that individuals in the
COJ Mayor's Office who were involved with the JEA matter may have information related to
possible Sunshine Law violations.
At the conclusion of the interview, Crescimbeni read and signed the letter from Chief
Investigator Tim Quick related to the complaints about potential non-compliance with Florida's
Government in the Sunshine laws. He was also provided with a copy of the signed letter.

VIOLATIONS
DATE: 09/17/2018
On September 17, 2018, at approximately 2:00 p.m., Sam Mousa (hereafter "Mousa"), the
Chief Administrative Officer to Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry (hereafter "Mayor Curry") was
interviewed in his office at Jacksonville City Hall, 117 W. Duval Street, #400, Jacksonville, Florida.
Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips from the City of Jacksonville, Office of the General
Counsel, was also present for the interview. During the interview, Mousa provided the following
information:
· In approximately February of 2018, Allie Korman (hereafter "Korman"), the Director of

Intergovernmental Affairs for the Mayor's Office at the time, met with Mousa and told him that she
had recently had a conversation with Jacksonville City Council (hereafter "City Council") Member
John Crescimbeni (hereafter "Crescimbeni"). Crescimbeni told her that City Council Member
Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis") had approached him and handed Crescimbeni a business
card which had the names of City Council Members written on it. After handing him the card,
Dennis said something to the effect that "here are the votes for you to become president" or the
votes to take out Aaron Bowman as president. Korman also told Mousa that Crescimbeni took the
card home.
Although City Council Members talk all the time, Mousa believes Korman came to him about
this situation because it was so egregious. He thought Dennis's activities were unlawful and he
advised Mayor Curry and Brian Hughes (hereafter "Hughes"), Mayor Curry's Chief of Staff, about
the information from Korman. Mousa also called Carla Miller (hereafter "Miller") about possible
Sunshine Law violations related to this matter. (Note: Miller was the Director of the Office of
Ethics, Compliance and Oversight for the City of Jacksonville at the time). Miller then referred
Mousa to the City of Jacksonville Inspector General's Office and the State Attorney's Office for
the Fourth Judicial Circuit.
Mousa then attended a meeting with City of Jacksonville Inspector General James Hoffman
'-

(hereafter "Hoffman"), Deputy Inspector General Lisa Green (hereafter "Green"), Hughes, and
Chief Assistant State Attorneys Mac Heavener and L.E. Hutton. This meeting occurred in
approximately February of 2018. (Mousa believed he may have met with Green and Hoffman
before meeting with representatives of the State Attorney's Office).
During this meeting, a decision was made for the Inspector General's Office to handle the data
and communications searches, and gather telephone and email records. These records were to
then be turned over to the State Attorney's Office. Mousa has not heard anything further about
this situation since the meeting.
Some time before Korman met with Mousa, he heard from various sources about several
Jacksonville City Council Members discussing the race for Council President at a meeting. At the
time, Mousa believed that City Council Members Dennis and Anna Lopez Brosche (hereafter
"Brosche") were trying to prevent Aaron Bowman from becoming president. Mousa explained that
City Council Member Matt Schellenberg holds regular Saturday morning breakfast meetings with
other City Council Members and friends at various local establishments. Mousa heard that one
of these meetings was held in approximately May of 2017 at a Metro Diner. The meeting was
attended by City Council Members Schellenberg, Brosche and Doyle Carter, and some friends.
During the meeting, Brosche said she had the votes for City Council President locked up in the
election against Crescimbeni. They also discussed assigning City Council Members to various
committees and committee chairmanships. Mousa heard that they were all celebrating. (Note:
Mousa did not provide specific information about his sources for this information but said he
believed A.G. Gancarski wrote an article in Florida Politics about the breakfast meeting).
Mousa described the race for City Council President between Brosche and Crescimbeni in
May of 2017 as tough. He added that Brosche locked up a block of votes and won the election.
Additionally, Mousa said that the African American City Council Members who voted for
Brosche were all assigned to the Finance Committee after she (Brosche) won the election. Mousa
described this committee as the strongest in City Council because it decided· how funds were
appropriated. This committee also reviews every City Council bill and recommends to the full
council whether funds should be appropriated for a specific bill.
Mousa did not know if votes were exchanged for assignments to committees and did not have
specific information if such exchanges occurred. He was told, however, that committee
assignments had been discussed at some point.
In approximately May of 2018, Brosche appeared on the Melissa Ross radio show and
complained about Mayor Curry. She also said she believed her movements and those of her
assistant were being monitored. As an example, Brosche noted that her assistant was unable to
log off of her computer because someone else was on it at the time.
After hearing about Brosche's complaint, Mousa contacted Kenneth Lathrop (hereafter
"Lathrop") , the Chief Information Officer and Chief of Information Technologies for the City of
Jacksonville. Mousa told Lathrop he was concerned about Brosche's comments and asked him
to look into the allegations. The results of Lathrop's inquiry were set forth in email correspondence
ATIORNEY DATE.TYPED SECRETARY INVESTIGATOR /.AUDITOR PAGE.

,r,
with Mousa.
Lathrop indicated that research into dates when the employee (Brosche's assistant) was
locked out of their computer determined that the occurrences were due to "entering an incorrect
password, login ID or requesting assistance to change a password." Additionally, research related
to other individuals accessing the computer identified three employees who had logged into the
computer. The employees, who had each logged in on one occasion, were Brosche, Dennis and
Steve Cassada. Mousa said Cassada works in Information Technology for the City of
Jacksonville. Mousa provided a copy of the email correspondence with Lathrop during the
interview. Mousa also believed an article was published in Florida �olitics about this matter.
Mousa notified Hughes about Lathrop's findings via email. After Lathrop's inquiry, Mousa did
not hear anything further related to the use of the computer.
Mousa described Korman's· position as the liaison between the Mayor's Office and City
Council. Korman informed the City Council Members about Mayor Curry's legislation and lobbied
for votes. (Note: Following the interview, Mousa contacted Investigator Adams telephonically to
further describe Korman's position. He added that Korman did not share information between or
among City Council Members and was not a conduit). Korman resigned in approximately May or
July of 2018. Jordan Ellsbury replaced Korman in the Mayor's Office. Jessica Baker also worked
with Korman in the Mayor's Office but has since resigned.
According to Mousa, Korman and Brosche were close at one time. At some point, however,
their relationship deteriorated. Mousa did not know the reason their relationship changed but
noted that Korman pushed the City Council Members to support the Children's Hope Alliance.
Brosche and Dennis, thc;rngh, were opposed to the bill. Mousa said Brosche called Korman out
in a public meeting and lied about her (Korman). This occurred well before the situation involving
Brosche, Crescimbeni and the City Council President election.
In further discussing the Children's Hope Alliance bill, Mousa said Brosche was likely just
supporting Dennis since he was opposed to the bill. Dennis did not believe the bill went far
enough in addressing the behavioral or mental health of the children. The bill was later modified
to address these concerns. Brosche, though, still voted against the bill in committee. She later
voted for it, however, in the full council· vote. The bill passed with Dennis being the only City
Council Member to vote against it. On the night of the final vote, Brosche criticized' the bill but then
voted for it. Dennis maintained his position that the bill did not go far enough even after it was
modified.
Mousa described Brosche and Dennis as a "tag team." He believed they have been friends
for a long time. He added that they may have been friends before being elected to the City
Council.
Mousa described the information about Dennis handing the business card to Crescimbeni as
the most egregious action he has heard about.

Brian,
After reading Council President Brosche' s comments concerning her executive assistant trying to log off her
computer, but could not because someone else was on her computer, in addition to Ms. Brosche' s comments
about her assistant's computer being monitored, I became very concerned. Accordingly, I took it upon myself to
investigate these allegations.
You find below a report from our IT security team detailing the executive assistant's request for computer
service, as well as who other than her, had logged into her computer.
Steve Cassada is the City Council's IT guru and I do not find it unusual that he would have logged into the
computer. However, Ms. Brosche and Mr. Garrett Demus also had log-in activity.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Mr. Mousa,
In response to your inquiry about an employee's inability to login to their computer and the bel.ief that their computer
may have been accessed without their knowledge, ITD researched and identified the dates below where the employee
reported to the ITD Service Desk that their account was locked out.
4/24/2018, 9/28/2016, 4/13/2016, 2/11/2016, 11/20/2015, 9/15/2015
For each of the above occurrences, the !TD Service Desk unlocked the account and the employee was able to
successfully login. These ·occurrences were the result of entering an incorrect password, login ID, or requesting
assistance to change a password.
In addition, our Security Team researched logs dating back to September, 2017 to determine if anyone other than the
employee had logged into this computer. Three employees were identified. Their names and login dates are listed
below.

On September 18, 2018, at approximately 11 :00 a.m., Jacksonville City Council (hereafter
"City Council") Member Tommy Hazouri (hereafter "Hazouri") was interviewed in his office at
Jacksonville City Hall, 117 W. Duval Street, #425, Jacksonville, Florida. Deputy General Counsel
Jon R. Phillips from the City of Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, was also present for
the interview. {Note: Hazouri was interviewed on August 29, 2018. This interview was scheduled
after Hazouri indicated he had additional information to provide regarding this matter). During the
interview, Hazouri provided the following information:
In approximately the Spring of 2018, during the City Council elections for President and Vice
President, City Council Member Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis") asked Hazouri why he
(Hazouri) was supporting City Council Member Aaron Bowman (hereafter "Bowman") for
President. Dennis also said that Bowman could not be trusted. Hazouri could not recall where he
was when Dennis talked to him about Bowman but believed it could have been in passing
between City Council meetings. Hazouri later told Bowman that Dennis was trying to undermine
him (Bowman) by saying he could not be trusted.
According to Hazouri, someone also said that A.G. Gancarski (Florida Politics) reported about
a breakfast meeting regarding City Council Member Anna Lopez Brosche (hereafter "Brosche").
This meeting was possibly held by former City Council Member Reggie Brown or City Council
Member Matt Schellenberg. Hazouri could not recall specifics related to the source of tliis
information.
Hazouri also described a situation in which he asked Brosche if she was going to have a
meeting about the election. Hazouri referred to it as a Sunshine meeting .and explained that such
a meeting was required to comply with the Sunshine Laws. Brosche did not commit to a meeting
but asked why he (Hazouri) was supporting Bowman and said that he (Bowman) was no leader.
Hazouri could not recall if he told Bowman about this conversation.

On September 19, 2018, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Mayor Lenny Curry (hereafter "Mayor
Curry'') was interviewed in his office at City Hall, 117 W. Duval Street, #400, Jacksonville, Florida.
General Counsel Jason Gabriel and Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips from the City of
Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, were also present for the interview. During the
\....
interview, Curry provided the following information:
In approximately February of 2018, Allie Korman (hereafter "Korman"), who ran legislative
affairs matters for the Mayor's Office, told Mayor Curry about a meeting she had with Jacksonville
City Council (hereafter "City CounciF') Member John Crescimbeni (hereafter "Crescimbeni"). The
meeting was held in Crescimbeni's office. Korman said that, during the meeting, Crescimbeni told
her about a card that City Council Member Garrett Dennis had given him regarding the City
Council election for President. The card had a list of names for Crescimbeni. Mayor Curry did not
recall exactly what it meant but explained that it was specific to who would be the next City
Council President. Mayor Curry took this information very seriously since it was evidence of a
conversation outside of the public domain.
After talking with Korman, Mayor Curry contacted City Council Member Aaron Bowman
("hereafter "Bowman") about this information. Mayor Curry believed Dennis held a public hearing
shortly after he (Mayor Curry) contacted Bowman.
Mayor Curry also mentioned that Florida Politics may have reported that City Council Members
Reggie Brown, Katrina Brown, Reginald Gaffney (hereafter "Gaffney") and Dennis voted as a·
block in City Council matters.
During the last city budget process, Mayor Curry had a meeting with City Council Member
Danny Becton in the Mayor's Office. During the meeting, Mayor Curry discussed the importance
. ATI"ORNE.Y:. . ciATE:TYPEO· . . ,. . ,. INV.ESTIGATOR / t,:UDITOR· '. : I. . PAGE .

,•
of funding for a fire station in Beeton's district. According to Mayor Curry, within twenty-four hours
Dennis was on the news claiming that he (Mayor Curry) was threatening projects so City Council
Members would vote for his budget. Mayor Curry explained that this was not true but believed
Becton had to have had a conversation with Dennis about their meeting for Dennis to make such
a claim in the media.
Mayor Curry has also heard rumors about a meeting at the Metro Diner related to City Council
office elections. He is also aware of a group that meets regularly on Saturday mornings. These
meetings used to be held at the Metro Diner but have since been moved to The Local. City
Council Member Matt Schellenberg frequently attends these meetings. City Council Member Anna
Brosche (hereafter "Brosche") also started attending these meetings. Additionally, local business
people attend, including Larry Peterson, Bobby Stein and Lathun Brigman. Mayor Curry was told
that conversations about the City Council elections and committee appointments were discussed
at these meetings.
Mayor Curry also heard gossip related to Brosche getting votes to become City Council
President. The gossip involved Brosche having the votes even though no one was aware of public
notice hearings in which City Council Members discussed support for her.
Mayor Curry has also been told by City Council Members that Dennis calls them often about
policy and related issues. Mayor Curry had told City Council Members Tommy Hazouri (hereafter
"Hazouri") and Sam Newby (hereafter "Newby'') to not talk with Dennis if he approaches them
about such matters. Mayor Curry is also aware that Dennis attempted to talk with Hazouri, Newby
and Gaffney about City Council business outside bf a public hearing. He also noted that news
reports suggest that Reggie and Katrina Brown had talked about City Council business outside
of a public hearing.
Additionally, Mayor Curry mentioned The District development project on the St. John's River.
Michael Munz and Peter Rummell were involved with this project. The project was approved by
a City Council vote of seventeen to two. Dennis and Brosche were the only two City Council
Members to vote against the project. Mayor Curry noted that Dennis and Brosche regularly are
the only two "no" votes on the City Council.
Mayor Curry also mentioned that he was aware of Brosche contacting the Jacksonville Jaguars
to request tickets for her, her family, and Dennis and his family, for the NFL playoff game last year
in a luxury box.

DATE: 09/19/2018
On September 19, 2018, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Brian Hughes (hereafter "Hughes"),
Chief of Staff for City of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, was interviewed in his office at City Hall,
117 W. Duval Street, #400, Jacksonville, Florida. Deputy General Counsel Jon R. Phillips from
the City of Jacksonville, Office of the General Counsel, was also present for the interview. During
'
( the interview, Hughes provided the following information:
. Hughes became the Chief of Staff in January of 2018. In approximately February of 2018, Allie
Korman (hereafter "Korman"), who was responsible for Intergovernmental Affairs for the Mayor's
Office at the time, told Hughes about a meeting she had with Jacksonville City Council (hereafter
"City Council") Member John Crescimbeni (hereafter "Crescimbeni"). According to Korman;
Crescimbeni told her that City Council Member Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis") had a business
card which contained a list of City Council Member names who would vote for Crescimbeni if he
(Crescimbeni) wanted to be City Council President. Dennis indicated that he could deliver these
votes. Hughes did not recall if the votes were to be in exchange for anything. Hughes could not
recall the names provided to Korman, by Crescimbeni but said the card contained four names.
Korman also said the card existed.
Hughes noted that Korman may have initially reported this information to Sam Mousa
(hereafter "Mousa"), the Chief Administrative Officer for the Mayor's Office. Hughes, Mousa and
Korman all talked with Mayor Curry about this matter. Hughes described Korman's responsibilities
at the time as the liaison between Mayor Curry and City Council Members.
Hughes thought it was significant that four names were on the card sinGe City Council Member
Anna Brosche (hereafter "Brosche") was unexpectedly elected City Council President the previous
year and he believed Dennis delivered four votes for her. City Council Member Aaron Bowman
(hereafter "Bowman") was expected. to be the City Council President that year.

Hughes explained further that public notice hearings were not held for Brosohe to be City
Council President and she just sort of had the votes. He again pointed out that he believed
Dennis delivered the block of votes for her. Following Brosche's election, Dennis was named
Chairman of the Finance Committee. Hughes described this committee as the most powerful City
Council committee.
Hughes added that Korman was concerned about how the disclosure of her conversation with
Crescimbeni would affect her both professionally and personally. He.noted that she had been very
close friends with Brosche at one time.
After receiving the information from Korman, Hughes believed Mousa contacted Carla Miller
(Note: Miller was the Director of the Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight for the City of
Jacksonville at the time). Miller then referred him to the State Attorney's Office and/or the
Inspector General's Office. Hughes was not sure of the order of how this information was
reported.
Hughes later attended a meeting with Mousa, representatives of the Inspector General's Office
and Chief Assistant State Attorneys Mac Heavener and L.E. Hutton from the State Attorney's
Office. Mousa may have talked with Lisa Green (hereafter "Green") of the Inspector General's
Office before this meeting. Hughes also believed Green told Korman that her information could
initially be anonymous if reported to the Inspector General's Office. At some point, Korman said
she talked with Green but Hughes did not recall when this occurred.
Hughes pointed out that in the fall of 2017, Action News aired an interview with Dennis in
which he claimed that Mayor Curry was holding the budget hostage. This included allegations that
the Mayor was saying certain things to other City Council Members. Hughes said Dennis and
other City Council Members had to have had conversations outside of the Sunshine Law about
the bill and the budget for this to be reported.
More specifically, Hughes said that on approximately October 10, 2017, Action News aired a
report about a City Council Member accusing Mayor Curry of holding the budget hostage to sway
votes for the Kids Hope Alliance (hereafter "KHA'') project. As part of the report, Dennis said the
City Council Members felt bullied. Hughes noted, however, that none of the other City Council
Members ever said anything. publicly.
Hughes was familiar with the public hotice hearing held by Dennis regarding Bowman but did
not have additional information.
Mayor Curry also told Hughes that individual conversations he (Mayor Curry) had with City
'Council Members had been shared with other City Council Members.
Hughes mentioned that, at some point, Mousa forwarded him an email containing the results
of an investigation by the City Information Technology Department following claims made by
Brosche on a radio show that her assistant's computer was being monitored. Hughes noted the
investigation determined that Dennis had logged into the assistant's computer.
. AT-T.ORN E.Y: · D'Ai.E'.,-:Y,P ED• . . INV.ES:TlG:AT.OR' / :AUDl:rO Ri P'A:GE:

Additionally, Hughes explained that City Council Member Danny Becton wanted money in the
budget (at the time) to be allocated to address pension debt. Mayor Curry told him (Becton) that
if funds were moved as he suggested, fire stations in hi� (Beeton's) district would not be built
because of insufficient funding. A day or two later, there was a news story featuring Dennis.
Hughes believed the only way Dennis would have known about this conversation was if Becton
had talked with him about it.
. According to Hughes, the Jacksonville Children's Commission (hereafter "JGC") and The
Journey were merged as part of the KHA to address concerns related to wasted funds. A board
was appointed so the organization could be more agile and efficient. Strict rules about the use of
funds were also implemented. Hughes explained that other non-profit organizations felt
threatened. At the time, Brosche and Dennis were friends with some of the leaders of these non
profit organizations.
Before the KHA project was approved, Dennis introduced an opposing bill. Additionally, as part
of this effort, Mayor Curry selected a board member for the KHA from a list of individuals
recommended by Brosche. A separate mental health component was also added to the KHA
project as requested by Dennis. Dennis, though, wanted to change the board and other things
related to KHA.
Hughes explained further that Matt Kane had been a board member of the JGC and was
aligned with Brosche and Dennis at the time of the KHA project. He was also very interested in
the KHA. Mayor Curry made a specific change to the KHA project at the recommendation of
Kane. Dennis was the only City Council Member to vote against the KHA.
Hughes did not have specific information as �o anyone associated with Dennis who may have
benefitted from some of the changes to the project or recommendations he (Dennis) made.

· On December 14, 2018, Jacksonville City Council President Aaron Bowman (hereafter
"Bowman") was interviewed telephonically. During the interview, Bowman provided the following
information:
Jacksonville City Council Member Katrina Brown (hereafter "Brown") was the first member of
the City Council to say something to Bowman about Garrett Dennis (hereafter "Dennis") and his
(Dennis) efforts to get City Council members to not vote for Bowman as City Council President.
In describing the incident, Bowman said he was getting on or off an elevator when Brown said
something to the effect that $he was lettin·g him know Dennis was saying bad things about him
to council members and was possibly doing it to get them to not vote for Bowman as President.
Bowman responded that he was not worried about Dennis.
Approximately two to three weeks later, City Council Member Tommy Hazouri (hereafter
"Hazouri") told Bowman that Dennis claimed he (Bowman) was supporting Scott Wilson for City
Council Vice President. Bowman said this was not true. He explained that, at the time, four City
Council members were running for Vice President and he had decided not to support any
candidates. He did not want his support for a specific candidate to create any undue influence or
otherwise effect the votes. Bowman told Hazouri that he had not committed to supporting any
candidates for Vice President.
Approximately a week later, possibly the week before The Players Championship, Brown told
Bowman that Dennis was saying bad things about Bowman to City Council Members Reggie
Gaffney (hereafter "Gaffney") and Sam Newby (hereafter "Newby''). Bowman contacted Gaffney
and Newby separately and asked if Dennis was saying things about him. Both Gaffney and Newby
told Bowman that Dennis said he (Dennis) could not vote for Bowman but did not specifically ask
them not to vote for him (Bowman). Bowman believed Gaffney and Newby said they did not
respond to Dennis.

following information:
Crescimbeni said he was never approached by Jacksonville City Council Member Garrett
Dennis about providing votes for Crescimbeni to be elected President of the City Council.
Crescimbeni believed such a situation possibly occurred in 2017 when Anna Brosche was elected
City Council President. Crescimbeni described this situation during his previous interview on
September 6, 2018.
Crescimbeni also explained that the election for City Council President and Vice
President are usually held during the last week of May each year. Sometime in August of 2016,
after Crescimbeni was elected as City Council Vice President, he was invited by Mayor Curry to
the Hyatt Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida, to watch the results for a pension tax question the Mayor
had on the ballot. While at the Hyatt for the event, Crescimbeni was approached and told that
another City Council member would be running against him for President. Crescimbeni was
informed about the other candidate by a City Council member (who was not the candidate).
Crescimbeni added that A.G. Gancarski previously reported in Florida Politics that
Jacksonville City Council Members had met at an establishment on. Hendricks Avenue in
Jacksonville.

On January 23, 2019, Ali Korman was interviewed telephonically. During the interview,
Korman provided the following information:
Korman was aware of the investigation by the State Attorney's Office into allegations of
possible Sunshine Law violations by members of the Jacksonville City Council (hereafter "City
Council").
Korman said she had been informed that City Council Member Garrett Dennis tried to
influence City Council Member Katrina Brown to vote for City Council Member Anna Lopez
Brosche as City Council President so he (Dennis) could become the Finance Chair (Note: This
election occurred in 2017). Brown eventually sent an email to all City Council Members expressing
her support for Brosche as City Council President. Korman had also been informed that Dennis
contacted several City Council Members in an effort to convince them how to vote. Korman
believed Dennis was always trying to line up City Council Members to vote against the mayor.
Korman also said she was informed that Dennis was part of a voting block of City
Council Members. He did not control this block, though. The members voted together but Korman
described them as generally acting independently.
Korman believed Dennis also tried to convince City Council Members to not vote for City
Council Member Aaron Bowman for President.
Korman believed Brosche's assistant, Jeneen Sanders, could have been a conduit
between Brosche and Dennis. Korman said she was "not aware" if Brosche was involved in the
same activities as Dennis, though.

7 EXAMINATION
8 BY MR. HEAVENER:
9 Q And we spent a little bit of time discussing
10 your statement before we we went on the record. I
11 just want to review some of the things we discussed

12 again.
13 First of all, I have advised you that you
14 appeared here today pursuant to a state attorney's
15 investigative subpoena. I believe it was issued back
16 in November. Do you recall getting that subpoena?
17 A My attorney picked it up.
18 Q Okay. And that would have been Jon Phillips
19 at the time?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Okay. And Mr. Phillips would have been an
22 assistant general counsel at City Hall?

23 A I don't know his title.
24 Q Okay. All right. But you -- you -- he gave
25 you the subpoena?

6
!
1 A Yes.
2 Q Okay. And we have rescheduled this sworn
3 statement -- I believe we were originally going to take
4 it December 3rd and some issues developed but we
5 voluntarily agreed to reschedule it for today which is

6 January 7th, is that right?
7 A Yes.
8 Q Okay. And as we get started I explained to
9 you that the -- the subpoena that you were served Mith,
10 that state attorney investigative subpoena provides you
11 with what's called immunity and it means that as the

12 prosecutor or the assistant state attorney I will not
13 ever prosecute you for anything that you say to me or
14 that anything that I could take your statements and --
15 and determine something was criminal that you may have
16 done. Do you understand that?
17 A Yes.
18 Q All right. I did advise you that the only
19 thing that you could get in trouble for today is if you
20 were to intentionally tell me something that was not
21 true or that was false you could be prosecuted for

22 offenses like perjury or obstruction of justice. Do
23 you understand that?
24 A Yes.
25 Q All right. So as we sit here today are you

7
1 under the influence of any drugs, medication or alcohol

2 that would affect your ability to hear and understand
3 questions?
4 A No.
5 Q And are you able to hear me okay?
6 A Yes.
7 Q Are you able to understand me okay?
8 A Yes.
9 Q Okay. Could you tell me what your current
10 position is?
11 A Executive council assistant.
12 Q And where do you work?
13 A Jacksonville -- City of Jacksonville.
14 Q Okay. And is that downtown in City Hall?
15 A Yes.
16 Q And how long have you worked as an executive
17 council?
18 A Almost four years.
19 Q And could you give me a little bit of an
20 outline of who you have worked for and your tenure in
21 City Hall?
22 A I have worked for council member Anna Lopez
23 Brosche.
24 Q The whole time?
25 A Yes.
8
/
"
1 Q And as part of your training to become an
2 executive council assistant, were you trained in

3 Florida's Sunshine laws?
4 A Not to become but, yes, we do have training
5 on Sunshine.
6 Q How often is that training?
7 A I think every year maybe.
8 Q Okay. And have you participated in each of
9 the trainings that City Hall has provided?
10 A Yes.
11 Q I over spoke -- I spoke over you. Have you
1� participated in each of the trainings, the four years
13 you have been there?
14 A Yes.
15 Q Okay. And as part of that training what is
16 your understanding of council member's ability to
17 communicate with each other about city business?
18 A They do not.
19 Q Okay. And is that a -- is that a rule that
20 is generally known in City Hall?
21 A Yes.
22 Q Okay. All right. With regard to your
23 subpoena to come here today, have you had discussions
24 with anyone other than your lawyer regarding your
25 compelled testimony today?

9
1 A No.
\
2 Q Okay. Have you spoken with Ms. Brosche about
3 the testimony today?
4 A No.
5 Q How about council member named Garrett
6 Dennis?
7 A No.
8 Q Have you spoken with any other council
9 members about your testimony today?
10 A No.
11 Q All right. I am going to describe a --

12 essentially how we got here today to give you some
) 13 background of how this investigation began because you
14 may have knowledge about the allegation.
15 Back in the spring of this year -- actually
16 spring of 2017 there was a -- a complaint made about a

17 business card being provided to a council member named
18 John Crescimbeni. Do you know council member
19 Crescimbeni?
20 A I do.
21 Q Okay. And the allegation was that the
22 bu�iness card had a list of council members' names and

23 there was an agreement that those particular council
24 members would vote for Mr. Crescimbeni to become
! 25 council president. Have you heard anything about that

10
1 allegation?
2 A I have not.
3 Q Any scuttle butt from any other executive
4 council assistant about that allegation?
5 A Not that I can recall.
6 Q Okay. Is there anything that you could look
7 at that would refresh your recollection?
8 A I don't know until I see it.
9 Q Okay. Is there anyone you could speak with
10 that would refre$h your recollection about whether or
11 not you know anything about that general allegation?
12 A Not that I know off the top.
13 Q Do you ever recall talking to anyone about
14 that general allegation?
15 A I don't recall.
16 Q Okay. Have you ever talked to anyone about
17 that general allegation?
18 A Not to my recollection.
19 Q Have you -- have you had any phone calls with
20 anyone about John Crescimbeni potentially becoming
21 council president?
22 A Not to my recollection, no.
23 Q Have you engaged in any kind of electronic
24 communications, whether it's e-mail or text messages
25 about that subject?

11
1 A Not that I recall.
2 Q Okay. And how about social media? Are you
3 on social media?
4 A Yes.
5 Q What what social media platforms I think
6 is what they call it?
7 A Facebook, and I was on it in '15 and then I
8 wasn't on it again until about maybe a month ago.
9 Q Okay.
10 A Or longer. During that time I wasn't on
11 social media.
12 Q Okay. Let me direct your attention to a
13 couple of phone numbers.
14 A Okay.
15 Q What is your phone number?
16 A (904) 703-7642.
17 Q Okay. Is that a cellular telephone?
18 A It is.
19 Q And do you have any other phone numbers
20 besides that cellular telephone?
21 A I don't.
22 Q Is that a city cellular phone or is that a
23 personal cellular phone?
24 A Personal cell phone.
25 Q Okay. And do you have any routine practices

12
1 that you incorporate to preserve any city business that
2 you do on your phone?
3 A I mean I keep it in mind that I have to
4 preserve it but I really don't conduct city btisiness on
5 the phone. I use an e-mail.
6 Q Okay. And while we are talking about phones,
7 do you ever use anyone else's phone to do city business
8 with?
9 A No.
10 Q Okay. E-mails, do you use any e-mail account
11 that ends with dot C 0 J?
12 A No.
13 Q Or C O J dot net?
14 A No. Oh, I do at work.
15 Q Okay. Do you have non-work e-mail accounts
16 as well?
17 A I have a Comcast, yes.
18 Q More than one Comcast account?
19 A No, just Comcast.
20 Q Do you have any other e-mail accounts besides
21 Comcast and the work e-mail you use on the city system?
22 A No.
23 Q Do you ever do any kind of -- any kind of
24 city or city-related e-mailing on your Comcast account?
25 A No.
13
1 Q Okay. And how long have you had that Comcast
2 account?
3 A Long time. Probably since 2012, '13, but
4 don't quote me on that.
5 Q Okay. And you are confident as we sit here
6 today that you have not done any --
7 A As far as I know I have not.
8 Q Okay. To -- to insure your privacy I will
9 not ask you for your Comcast e-mail address on the
10 record. Are you able to provide that to us off the
11 record?
12 A Yes.
) 13 Q Okay. . Okay. So you gave me your phone
14 number as 703-7642. Do you recognize the phone number
15 (904) 537-7202?
16 A Yes.
17 Q Whose number is that?
18 A Anna's.
19 Q And that's Ms. Brosche?
20 A Yes. Anna Lopez Brosche.
21 Q And I am going to spell her name so if this
22 is ever transcribed. It's B R O S C H E. Did I get
23 that right?
24 A You did.
25 Q Okay. All right. And how did you -- how do

14
1 you know Ms. Brosche?

2 A I met her in the non-profit sector.
3 Q What kind of -- give me some background on --

4 A She was in a volunteer women's organization
5 that I managed.
6 Q Okay. And what was the name of that
7 organization?
8 A The Women's Giving Alliance.
9 Q Okay. All right. Very good. And then the
10 number (904) 887-1870?
11 A That's Garrett Dennis.
12 Q How do you know Garrett Dennis?
13 A I met him before Anna or right when Anna
14 decided to run he helped me in her campaign. I think
15 he run before and I was new to working a campaign.
16 Q Okay. As I indicated to you before we went
17 on the record again the reason we were here is my
18 investigator, Timothy Adams, had interviewed you and
19 you indicated you were not comfortable talking about
20 some particular questions he had. The reason that we
21 -- we have asked to speak with you today is as part of

22 our investigation of this allegation that took place we
23 obtained phone record subpoenas:
24 A Uh-huh.
25 Q And when those subpoenas -- and there were

15
1 multiple council people's records that were subpoenaed.
2 When those records were subpoenaed they showed an

3 extremely high level of phone contact between your
4 number and Mr. Dennis' number.
5 A Uh-huh.
6 Q And I will give you exact quotes. It's -- as
7 best we understand from October 1 of 2017 until Ma_rch 1
8 of 2018 there were 1,771 calls exchanged between your
9 phone number and Mr. Dennis' phone number. The amount
10 of time in seconds is about 940,443 seconds. My rough
11 estimate that's about 261 hours of time on the phone.
12 A Uh-huh.
13 Q Why is there such -- that level of frequency
14 and level of time discussipg or phone conversation
15 between you and Mr. Dennis?

16 A As explained to you we are colleagues over
17 here at council. Member Dennis and I are friends and
18 we talk.
19 ·Q And I am not -- I have no desire to get into
20 personal conversations with Mr. Denn�s. My question is
21 during any of those conversations, a�y of those 1,771
22 phone calls between October 1 of 2017 and March 1 of

23 2018, did you discuss any city business with
24 Mr. Dennis?

16
/ 1 Q Okay.
2 A I mean from -- I can remember -- can't
3 remember yesterday but, no, not that I can recall.
4 Q Okay. Did you -- were -- did Ms. Brosche
5 ever request you to act as a conduit between her and
6 Mr. Dennis to discuss city business?
7 A She has not.
8 Q Okay. And you understand that word conduit,
9 what I mean
10 A I do.
11 Q Okay. How about -- so between that same
12 period of time, October 1 of 2017 through March 1 of

13 2018, we showed that there were 450 phone calls between
14 Ms. Brosche and Mr. Dennis for a total of about 220,000
15 seconds. That's about 58 hours.
16 A Okay.
17 Q Do you did you overhear phone calls
18 between Ms. Brosche and Mr. Dennis?
19 A No. (Unintelligible) -- no.
20 Q Okay.
21 A She doesn't tell me things.
22 Q Do you have any understanding about why there
23 would be that level of contact between Ms. Brosche and
24 Mr. Dennis?
25 A I understand they are friends but outside of

17
1 that, no.
2 Q Okay. One of the things that we did an
3 analysis on was Mr. Dennis spoke a lot more on the
4 phone with you than he did with his own spouse.
5 A Uh-huh.
6 Q Can you describe the frequency of the contact
7 you would typically have with Mr. nennis? I mean I
8 Rnow I have. given you these gross numbers.
9 A Not without looking. I mean we talk a lot
10 but not without looking I cannot.
11 Q Approximately how many times a day do you
12 think you
13 A I am not sure. I really don't count.
14 Q Okay. Has anyone other than -- well, let me
15 rephrase. We talked about -- you have answered the
16 question you have never to the best of your

17 recollection served as a conduit for communications
18 between Ms. Brosche and Mr. Dennis.
19 A Right.
20 Q Has any other council member asked you to
21 serve as a conduit for communications between

22 Ms. Brosche and someone else?
24 Q Have you ever done that for any other council
{ 25 member?
\
18
1 A No.
2 Q Okay. So our initial phone records that we
3 obtained were from October 1 �f 2017 to March 1 of
4 2018. We then obtained additional records from March 1
5 of 2018 to May 31st of 2018. Those records continued
6 showing significant contact between you and Mr. Dennis
7 but those records then showed no contact between
8 Mr. Dennis and Ms. Brosche.
9 Do you have any understanding of why phone
10 contact between the two of them seemed to cease at that
11 point?
12 A I would not.
13 Q Okay. Have you had any conversations with

I .
14 Ms. Brosche about communications with Mr. Dennis?
15 A I have not.
16 Q Okay. Have you engaged in any text messaging
17 about city business on behalf of Ms. Brosche with any
18 other council member?
19 A Have not.
20 Q And that would include Mr. Dennis?
21 A Right.
22 Q Okay. And you have no knowledge about
23 Mr. Dennis or any other members of City Council
24 promising to deliver votes for City Council president?
.l 25 A Not that I can recall, no.

19
1 Q Okay. You have used the phrase not that you
2 can recall a number of times.

3 A Yes.
4 Q Is there a reason why you are answering the
5 questions with that formulation?
6 A No, not other than basic on what you told me
7 about perjuring or doing something deliberately.
8 Q Right.
9 A This is not a comfortable position to be in
10 but I want to make sure that when we are talking about
11 well over a year ago or close to a year ago --
12 Q Right.
13 A -- that as far as my memory takes me I do not
14 recall.
15 Q Okay. And that's a fair answer, and I
16 appreciate that. Have you discussed your prior
17 interview with Mr. 'Adams, the investigator here
18 that's here today, have you discussed that interview
19 with anyone other than attorneys acting on your behalf?
20 A No, not that I can recall. No. I don't
21 necessarily go out sharing that.

22 Q You haven't had any discussions with
23 Ms. Brosche about what Mr. Adams spoke with you about?
24 A No.
25 Q You haven't had any discussions with

20
1 Mr. Dennis about what Mr. Adams spoke to you about?
2 A No.
3 Q Okay. We then freshened our phone records up
4 from May 30 of 2018 to September 28th of 2018 and they
5 again show significant contact between you and
6 Mr. Dennis. Is that -- you have not -- have you
7 changed your phone pattern to Mr. Dennis since this
8 investigation began?
9 A I wouldn't think so. I mean I don't see a
10 need to.
11 Q Okay. What -- that's a -- as I indicated
12 that's an alarming volume of phone contact. Can you
13 describe generally the kinds of topics you all will
14 discuss? And I don't need you to get specific. I
15 don't want you to disclose personal business but just
16 generally what kind of topics do you discuss with
17 Mr. Dennis?
18 A Probably everything under the sun. We both
19 have seniors in high school so my daughter made a
20 change in her -- in her school a couple of years ago
21 which was somewhat -- I don't want to really get into

22 but -- in determining where she wanted to go to school.
23 He was an alumni of one of the colleges that she
24 initially looked at so we kind of discussed -- yeah,
25 children.
21
1 Like my attorney said kind of work next --
2 moving into the next phase after -- you know, knowing
3 not knowing whether or not I was going to stay after
4 my four year commitment, things of that nature, health,
5 parents which I don't want to get into that, things of
6 that nature, but things that friends talk about and
7 discuss.
8 Q Okay. So I just want to make sure, and again
9 I am not going to get into your private affairs but you
10 have discussions about children, health, career,
11 parents and friends. Anything that I am missing?
12 A No.
13 Q Okay. Again I -- yo�r subpoena provides you
14 with immunity. I am not investigating whether these
15 conversations took place upon City Hall time or not
16 City Hall time but do you have a recollection of the
17 when you have these discussions with Mr. Dennis are
18 they during the day? Are they during the night?
19 A They probably vary, and again the window is
20 so large that I don't recall but, yes, we have talked
21 on city time. Probably wasn't always -- I can't say it

/
22 wasn't about the kids at that time or a parent at that
23 time, but again I manage his office and work with his
24 aids from the time he is probably been there so some of
25 it is probably that as well.

22
1 Q Okay. And again the records speak for
2 themselves as to when the time was.

3 A Correct, correct.
4 Q Okay. So let me ask this question: If
5 someone does an analysis of the records they might be
6 able to infer that -- that a lot of conversation was
7 going around pertaining to key council events or key
8 council votes. Do you have any understanding about why
9 that would be?
10 A I wouldn't think that but then again without
11 seeing them I don't know. We did not talk about how he
12 votes, how she votes. We don't discuss that.
13 Q All right. Fair enough. And again I am
14 going to couch these questions to the best of your
15 knowledge. To the best of your knowledge you do not
16 transact City of Jacksonville business on your phone?
17 A That is correct.
18 Q To the best of your knowledge you don't
19 engage in text messaging from your phone with city of
20 council -- City of Jacksonville Council business?
21 A That's correct.
22 Q You don't do City of Jacksonville Council
23 business on your personal e-mail?
24 A That's correct.
25 Q And you don't serve as a conduit for

23
1 Ms. Brosche and other council members with regard to
2 your e-mails?
3 A That's correct.
4 Q Okay. Do you know what the process is for
5 retaining city records when people are using their
6 personal phones?
7 A I don't understand that question.
8 Q So let's say this: Let's say it's not
9 communicating between council members. Let"s say that
10 you and Ms. Brosche have a communication -- let's say
11 as a schedule matter.
12 A Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
13 Q To schedule a meeting with the mayor on
14 whatever the date is. How -- how do you all preserve
15 those records or do you?
16 A Well, preserving the records as if it's city
17 business as far as I understand it in my training is
18 not -- city business is not her saying to me make an
19 appointment with Geddes Anderson.
20 Q Right.
21 A So you don't necessarily have to preserve it.
22 Q Okay.
23 A An issue when you are not eight utilizing a
24 city phone. Now if she said to me, Jeneen, tomorrow
25 night I am going to vote yes on 2018747, it would still

24
1 be what we consider a personal message because it's she
2 and her assistant talking but we really don't do -- she
3 doesn't really send me anything in terms of how she is
4 going to vote. It's mainly this is a schedule or I
5 will be in late today or don't forget ex-party. It's
6 conversation in regards to the general administrative
7 duties if you will.
8 Q Okay. All right. So given the general
9 nature of what we have been investigating or what we
10 haven't been investigating, do you have any knowledge
11 or insight about potential sunshine law violations
12 going on at City Hall by anyone?

13 A Not to my knowledge.
14 Q Okay. And if -- and again you are confident
15 that it's not going on with regard to your
16 communications with Mr. Dennis?
17 A Right.
18 Q And you have not overheard any Sunshine
19 violations between Mr. Dennis and Ms. Brosche?
20 A I have not.
21 Q Okay. Okay. So that's all my questions.
22 Have you understood all my questions?
23 A Pretty much.
24 Q Is there any answer that you feel like you
25 need to revise, modify, change?

25
1 A No. As I said to my recollection.
2 Q Okay.
_3 A What I told you is what I recall.
4 Q All right. And again I am about to end our
5 interview and when I do this will be the final version
6 of this, so if there is anything that you feel like you

OFFICE OF THE STATE ATTORNEY

FOURTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
311 WEST MONROE STREET
TO: File No. 18SA015842AD
rROM: Mac D. Heavener, III, Chief Assistant State Attorn'ey
RE: Closed Investigation
DATE: February 8, 2019
This memo outlines the initial complaint our office received about potential
Florida Sunshine Law violations by Jacksonville City Council Members, the
investigative steps we took, and our legal analysis and conclusion that available
evidence would not support a criminal prosecution of any individual Council Member.
We are,.therefor�, closing our investigation.
I. Initiation and Predication for the Investigation
On February 28, 2018, Chief Assistant L.E. Hutton and I met with the City of
Jacksonville's Inspector General ("IG"), the Deputy Inspector General ('DIG"), and
members of the Mayor's office. During the meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Sam
Mousa relayed that the Mayor's office was notified that a member of City Council, John
Crescimbeni, had been approached outside of a noticed meeting by Council Member
Garrett Dennis about the delivery of a block vote in Crescimbeni's favor for Council
President. The Mayor's office was concerned that Sunshine violations may be taking
place. The specific allegation was that a source within the Mayor's Office had relayed
that Council Member Dennis provided a list of names written on the back of a business
card to Council Member Crescimbeni. Given the initial nature of the allegation, the IG
1
and this office agreed that the IG' s office would conduct a preliminary review of the
matter to determine if further investigation by our office was warranted.
Chief Investigator Tim Quick spoke with the DIG, Lisa Green1 via phone on
March 14, 20181 and she requested a phone subpoena for Council Member Dennis1 s
phone records based on the nature of the complaint (i.e. that Council Member Dennis
1
may have been assembling a block vote). We issued the requested subpoena1 and when
Chief Investigator Quick obtained the subpoena results1 two City IG investigators came
to Investigator Quick' s office to download the results on April 191 2018.1
On April 27, 20181 we suggested an in-person meeting with the IG1 s office to
review their to-date findings from review of sources available to them (e.g., City emails1
City office surveillance records, etc.) and the phone records our office shared. On April
301 20181 DIG Lisa Green confirmed a meeting for May 151 20181 at 3:30 p.m.
On May 141 20181 Deputy IG Lisa Green forwarded a written notice to Chief
Assistant Hutton and me. The notice was issued by Council Member Dennis and
indicated a public meeting would take place at City Hall on May 151 2018. The stated
purpose of the meeting was "to discuss allegations made by Council Vice President
Bowman on the topic of Sunshine Violations for the upcoming Council Leadership
Vote. 1 The notice continued1 "Additionally1 the meeting will address correspondence
1
received from the Honorable Aaron Bowman1 Vice President,of the Jacksonville City
Council on the topic of the upcoming Council Leadership Vote.'1
Because the stated purpose of the called meeting potentially concerned the same
subject as the initial complaint we received1 SAO Investigator Tim Adams/ Chief
Assistant Hutton1 and I attended the meeting at City Hall on May 151 20181 at 9:00
a.m. Council President Brosche and Council Member Dennis attended. During the
meeting1 Council Member Dennis exhibited a clear understanding of the Florida
1 That subpoena (and other phone-record subpoenas issued later) showed the need to subpoena additional phone
records for other Council Members when what looked to be out-of-the-ordinary phone contact with other Council
Members was taking place. We issued those subpoenas as well during the course of the investigc;Jtion.
2 Investigator Tim Adams joined the State Attorney's Office as an investigator shortly after we received the initial
complaint. Investigator Adams is a licensed attorney (although not in Florida) and retired from 21 years of public
service as a Special Agent with the FBI. He has significant experience investigating public corruption matters and
was ideally suited to be the lead investigator for this matter. He primarily was assisted by SAO Investigator John
Zipperer, a law enforcement officer with over 40 years of experience, including investigating corruption matters as
a JSO Integrity Detective.
2
Sunshine Law and the requirements that law placed on elected members of the
Jacksonville City Council. 3
Later that day, on May 15, 2018, at 3:30 p.m., Chief Investigator Tim Quick,
Investigator Adams, and I attended a meeting with the IG, the DIG, and several
Assistant IGs, during which they presented their preliminary findings. Those findings
showed that substantial telephonic contact had taken place between Council President
Brosche and Council Member Dennis and between Council Member Dennis and
Council President Brosche's Council Executive Assistant, Jeneen Sanders
("Sanders"). The IG also shared that some of that phone contact took place around
Council meetings.
Based upon the preliminary analysis by the IG' s office, we determined that an
investigation by this office was warranted to determine whether criminal violations of
the Florida Sunshine laws (i.e. knowing violations) existed. At that point, the
investigation also broadened from the initial complaint about Council Member Dennis
giving a list of names to Council Member Crescimbeni to a new concern that certain
Council Members were violating the Florida Sunshine Laws through non-public
telephone calls or by using a cpnduit to illegally communicate about Council business.
II. Investigative Overview .
This Office's investigation began with the covert subpoena and/or analysis of
telephone toll records, including the information and analysis provided t? us by the
IG's office. We issued multiple phone subpoenas, and often the records we obtained
showed the need for records of other Council Members. The investigation remained
covert from :February 28, 2018, until we openly interviewed Council Members in late
August through September 2018. Those interviews were non-custodial and as close-in
time as the schedules of Council Members and knowledgeable City employees
permitted. After that, we conducted or invited a number of follow-up interviews. We
compelled one immunized statement by issuing an investigative subpoena to Council
Member Broche's Council Executive Assistant, Jeneen Sanders. We made an
investigative decision that we would not compel interviews of Council Members
identified as subjects of the investigation (i.e., Council Members who had engaged in
substantial telephonic contact) because compelling those interviews necessarily would
grant immunity to them and likely bar any cr�inal charges for Sunshine Law
violations or for any other criminal violations that might have been disclosed during
3
Our purpose in attending the meeting was to see if Council Member Dennis made any statements about the
original complaint and to determine if he made statements demonstrating his knowledge of the Florida Sunshine
Law, as those statements might prove a violation of the Sunshine Law was done knowingly.
3
compelled statements. A summary of the key facts uncovered from the investigation
follows. 4
A. Telephone Toll Analysis
We issued a number of subpoenas for telephone toll records,5 primarily covering I •
from October 1, 2017, to September 28, 2018. Because the initial complaint focused on
Council Member Dennis, the initial analysis began with his phone records. We
obtained more phone records of other Council Members once additional predication
became apparent. 6 A comprehensive analysis of the phone toll records and types of
phone contact is contained in Investigator Adams' investigative memo and is not
produced in its entirety below.
Analysis of the toll records revealed substantial telephone activity between

certain Council Members and between one Council Member and the Council Executive
Assistant of another Council Member. 7 This analysis directed our focus to those
Council Members whose telephone toll records revealed substantial, non-isolated
contact. Analysis of records showing more than 200 telephonic contacts between a
Council Member and any other. Council Member during a year is noted below.
1. Telephone activity between Council Member Dennis and

Council Member Brosche, Council Member Dennis and Council
Executive Assistant Jeneen Sanders, and Council Member Dennis
and Council Member Katrina Brown.
Telephone toll record analysis revealed substantial telephone activity between

Council Member Dennis and Sanders, the Executive Council Assistant for Council
Member Brosche and between Council Member Dennis and Council Members Brosche
and Katrina Brown. The relevant details consist of the following:
4
Investigator Adams completed investigative memo, and all interviews were documented by separate reports of
those interviews. This memo summarizes the pertinent facts obtained during the investigation.
5
Telephone toll records are business records maintained by telephone service providers that show the dates,
times, and phone numbers that communicated with a particular phone subscriber's account. By analyzing those
records, law enforcement can determine what numbers contacted or were contacted by a particular number.
Telephone toll records show contacts, l;Jut those records do not disclose the actual content of communications.
6
While we could have subpoenaed the phone records of all Council Members, we limited our investigative efforts
to the subject of the initial complaint and when records showed a Council Member having what appeared to be
out-of-the-ordinary contact with another Council Member.
7
Significant contact between a Council Member and another Council Member's Executive Council Assistant raises
the potential of someone acting as a conduit. Use of a conduit to avoid Florida's Sunshine Laws is illegal.
4
o Council Member Dennis and Council Member Brosche' s Executive Council
Assistant, Ieneen Sanders. Between October 1, 2017, and September 28, 2018,
3,128 calls took place between Council Member Dennis' s phone number and
the phone number used by Sanders, the Executive Council Assistant for
Council Member Brosche. The total time spent during all of that contact was
1,446,191 seconds, or about 402 hours. 8 Some calls to Sanders also showed
Council Member Dennis used a *67 function, which is selective caller
identification block that would indicate some attempt to conceal identity.
• Council Member Dennis and Council Member Brosche. Between October t

2017, and September 28, 2018, 454 calls took place between Council Member
Dennis's phone number and Council Member Brosche's phone number. The
total time spent during all of that contact was 223,890 seconds1 or about 62
hours. Of particular note was an abrupt discontinuation of calls after
February 281 2018 (the date of the initial complaint to our office and the IG' s
office). During the period between October 1, 20171 and February 281 20181
450 of the 454 calls took place. After that only four calls took place.
• Council Member Dennis and Council Member Katrina Brown. The only other
Council Member with more than 200 contacts with Council Member Dennis' s
phone was Council Member Katrina Brown. Between October t 2017, and
September 28, 2018, 230 calls took place between Council Member Dennis' s
phone number and the phone number used by Council Member Katrina
Brown. The time spent during those calls was 65,939 seconds, or about 18
hours.
'
The IG1 s office also compared phone contact to known City Council or Council
Committee meeting times1 and that analysis showed that Council Member Dennis and
Council Member Brosche regularly communicated by telephone around scheduled
Council meetings.
2. Telephone Activity Between Council Member Katrina Brown and

Council Member Reginald Brown
8 By way of reference and comparison, between October 1, 2017, to October 19, 2018, Council Member Brosche
had only 641 contacts with Sanders's phone with total contact duration of about 39 hours. That meant Council
Member Brosche had about an eighth of the contact with her own Council Executive Assistant than Council
Member Dennis had. Similarly, Council Member Dennis's phone and Council Member Dennis's spouse's phone'
number showed 1,941 contacts with total contact duration of about 82. hours. Stated differently, Council Member
Dennis spent about a quarter of the time communicating with his spouse's number than he did with Sanders's
number.
5
A review of Council Member Katrina Brown's telephone toll records showed
significant telephonic contact between Council Member Katrina Brown and Council
Member Reginald Brown. 9 Between October 1, 2017, and July 18, 2018, 12,598 contacts
took place between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone number and Council
Member Reginald Brown's phone. The time spent during those contacts was 888,751
seconds, or about 247 hours.

Council Member Reggie Gaffney

significant telephonic contact between Council Member Katrina Brown and Council
Member Reggie G___affney. Between October 1, 2017, and July 18, 2018, 1,804 contacts
took place between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone number and Council
Member Reggie Gaffney's phone number. The time spent during those contacts was
266,209 seconds, or about 74 hours.

Council Member Sam Newby

significant telephonic contact between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone number
and Council Member Sam Newby's phone number. Between October 1, 2017, and July
18, 2018, 737 contacts took place between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone
number and Council Member Sam Newby's phone number. The time spent during
those contacts was 136,572 seconds, or about 38 hours.
5. Analysis of Telephone Activity for Council Member John

Crescimbeni.
We obtained toll records for Council Member John Crescimbeni's phone number
based on the original allegation. Toll analysis of those records showed a much different
picture than the toll analysis outlined above. A review of toll records for the period
between March 1, 2018, to July 19, 2018,10 showed that Council Member Crescimbeni
9
Council Members Katrina Brown and Reginald Brown were indicted by a federal grand jury on\May 23, 2018, in
the case styled United States v. Katrina Brown and Reginald Brown, Case No. 3:18-cr-89-J-34-JRK. The indictment
alleges serious federal felonies that include conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, and money laundering. Due to the
significant federal charges pending against them, we have not pursued the telephone data further, as discussed
below.
10
Because of the low volume of contact with other Council Me,mbers, no investigative reason existed to subpoena
a larger date range of Council Member Crescimbeni's phone records.
6
had 51 contacts with Council Member Brosche or a total duration of 6,275 seconds, or
about 1.75 hours. 11 That review also showed that during the same time period (March 1,
2018, to July 19, 2018), Council Member Crescimbeni had only 23 telephone contacts
with Council Member Dennis for a total duration of 1,261 seconds, or about 21 minutes.
All other Council Member telephone contacts during the same period were even less
than that. In sum, Council Member Crescimbeni's toll analysis reflected what one
would expect to see.
B. Interviews
Between August 29, 2018, and September 19, 2018, investigators with this office
conducted overt interviews with City Council Members, select City Council employees,
and select members of the Mayor's office. The interviews were directed to the initial
complaint and to generally explore Sunshine Law violations, particularly among those
Council Members who showed substantial telephonic activity with other Council
Members. The interviews were voluntary and scheduled at convenient times and
locations. Investigators used a uniform interview guide during the interviews.
Investigators also requested all Council Members to sign a preservation letter,
acknowledging their obligation to maintain any communications that might be
pertinent to the investigation. The purpose for the preservation letter was ensure the
preservation of any relevant communications. The receipt of the preservation letter
followed by destruction of communications potentially would support evidence
tampering charges if a Council Member subsequently destroyed relevant
communications. During the first few interviews, Council Members spoke without an
attorney present. After that, on September 6, 2018, the Office of General Counsel
("OGC") contacted Investigator Tommy McKenzie and advised that OGC represented
"all the members of the Jacksonville City Council" and would be present for all future
interviews of Council Members.
Following the initial interview of Council Member Dennis, we were contacted by

Attorney David Wells who advised that he represented Garrett Dennis. Following the
initial interview of Council Member Brosche, we were contacted by Attorney Hank
Coxe who advised that he represented Anna Brosche. Following the initial<interview of
Sanders and service of a State Attorney investigative1 subpoena upon her, we were
contacted by Attorney Geddes Anderson who advised that he represented Jeneen
Sanders.
11 Less than two hours of phone contact over four months would appear consistent with routine scheduling calls.
7
During initial interviews, investigators did not confront or challenge statements
that readily appeared inconsistent with the telephone toll analysis done to date. This
was an intentional investigative technique, as investigators did not want to identify the
potential subjects of the investigation and did not want to disclose data to those
subjects, as false statements by those subjects would be admissible consciousness-of
guilt evidence if actual violations became apparent during interviews with others. Once
all interviews were completed, investigators planned to revisit misleading answers and
confront subjects with the toll analysis and other information learned through
interviews of others that might have been relevant to the particular subject's phone
contacts. Investigators also prepared a separate report of interview for each interview
that is contained in our investigative file. What follows is a brief summary of key
statements provided during the interviews.
1. Interviews related to the initial complaint
Our investigation revealed that the initial information about the incident
between Council Members John Crescimbini and Garrett Dennis was provided by Ali
Korman ("Korman"), the Mayor's Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. As part of her
normal duties, she regularly interacted with Council Members. On January 29, 2019,
Korman confirmed that she relayed information about the initial interaction between
Council Member Dennis and Council Member John Crescimbeni to Mayor Curry.
· We also attempted to locate individuals who might have knowledge at the

Mayor's Office. On September 17, 2018, SAO investigators interviewed the Mayor's
Chief Administrative Officer, Sam Mousa ("Mousa"), the person who made the initial
complaint to our Office. Mou_sa advised that in February 2018, Korman met with him
and advised him that she had recently met with Council Member John Crescimbeni.
She relayed that Council Member Crescimbeni told her that Council Member Dennis
had approached Council Member Crescimbeni, handed him a business card, and the
card had other Council Members' names on it. After handing Council Member
Crescimbeni the business card, Council Member Dennis said words to the effect of,
"Here are the votes for you to become president." Korman advised Mousa that Council
Member Crescimbeni took the card home. Mousa believed that Korman came to him
because the situation was egregious. He advised Mayor Curry and Brian Hughes, the
Mayor's Chief of Staff. He also contacted Carla Miller, the Director of the Office of
Ethics, Compliance, and Oversight. Miller referred him to the IG and the SAO.
On September 19, 2018, SAO investigators also interviewed Brian Hughes

("Hughes"), the Mayor's Chief of Staff. Hughes advised investigators that in February
2018, Korman advised him that Council Member Crescembini had relayed to her that
8
Council Member Dennis approached Council Member Crescembini with a business
card containing a list of Council Members who would vote for Council Member
Crescembini if he wanted to be Council President. Korman advised Hughes that the
card existedf and it contained four names.
On September 19f 2018f SAO investigators also interviewed Mayor Lenny Curry
( /Curryn ). Curry relayed that Korman approached him in February 2018. She told
f
Curry that Council Member Crescimbeni had relayed that he met with Council Member
Dennis in Crescimbenif s office. She also rel�yed that Council Member Crescimbeni
stated that Council Member Dennis gave him a card regarding the upcoming election
for Council President. The card had a list of names. After thisf Curry contacted Council
Member Bowman and provided the information.
Korman and three independent sources within the Mayorf s Officef thenf indicate
that Korman relayed that Council Member Crescimbeni was approached by Council
Member Dennis with a list of Council Members who would vote for Crescimbeni for
City Council President. Because Korman made three prior consistent statements before
we began any investigation/ Kormanf s statement is corroborated by prior consistent
statements that provide strong indicia of reliability.
Other accounts of the alleged incident were in�dmissible hearsay or were based
on inadmissible speculation by other Council Membersf but these accounts would tend
to corroborate the initial complaint. For instance/ Council Member Bowman spoke with
our office twicef on September Sf 2018f and on December 17f 2018. In_substancef he
relayed that tw_o Council Membersf Katrina Brown and Tommy Hazourif had
independently told him that Council Member Dennis was trying to sway the Council to
vote against him becoming Council President. He said that Katrina Brown later told
him that Council Member Dennis was saying things about him to Council Members
Reggie Gaffney and Sam Newby. He contacted both Gaffney and Newby to determine
if Council Member Dennis was disparaging himf but they advised him that Council
Member Dennis said he was not voting for Council Member Bowmanf but he never
solicited or encouraged them to join him.
Similarly/ on September 18f 2018f SAO investigators interviewed Council

Member Tommy Hazouri. During his interview/ Council Member Hazouri advised that
in the spring of 2018f Council Member Dennis had questioned him about why he was
supporting Council Member Bowman for Council President. Dennis advised Hazouri
that he did not think Council Member Bowman could be trusted. Council Member
Hazouri passed that information along to Council Member Bowman.
9
The primary witness to the original allegation, of course, would be Council
Member John Crescimbeni. He agreed to speak with our Office twice without
protections or subpoena. In-person interviews happened on September 6, 2018, and
December 20, 2018. Each time, Council Member Crescimbeni denied that Council
Member Dennis approached him about a group vote in his favor or that Council
Member Dennis provided a business card to him with the names of other Council
Members who would vote for him. He confirmed once more on February 4, 2019, that
he had no recollection of that interaction with Council Member Dennis.
As noted below, Council Member Dennis requested to consult with his counsel
before our investigators were able to conduct further questioning about the initial
complaint. We attempted to conduct another interview, but through counsel, he
refused. We therefore do not have Council Member Dennis's account of what
happened regarding the initial complaint. Since Council Member Dennis would be the
subject of the complaint, we are unwilling to immunize him for a further statement, as
doing so would foreclose any future prosecution and would also grant immunity if he
disclosed other offenses.
To review, Crescimbeni denied the initial allegation. Dennis invoked his right to
counsel before any questioning about the initial complaint and will no longer speak
with us, as is his Constitutional right. Thus, the initial allegation cannot be sustained
with direct evidence. At best, our only evidence of this complaint consists of a prior
inconsistent statement by Crescimbeni to Korman and some behavior by Dennis that
would tend to corroborate efforts to keep Bowman from becoming Council President.
The remaining interviews we conducted all focusecl. on the voluminous and

frequent telephone contact between various identified Council Members.
2. Council Member Brosche
On August 29, 2018, SAO investigators interviewed Council Member Brosche.

She advised that she was not aware of any alleged Sunshine Law violations and had no
specific information about the topic. She advised that she had not communicated with
other Council Members about Council matters outside of official hearings or
proceedings, but she has communicated with them about times of meetings or their
attendance. She advised that she does not regularly contact other Council Members for
matters unrelated to Council business. At the time, Investigators did not specifically
confront Brosche with the volume of calls and duration of contact between her and
Council Member Dennis or between Sanders and Council Member Dennis.
10
Investigators similarly did not confront her about why her own contact with Dennis
abruptly stopped. This was intentional1 as explained above.
We did make contact with Ms. Brosche1 s counsel on January 161 20191 and
requested the opportunity to ask additional questions and provide further explanation.
Through her counset Ms. Brosche dfclined that invitation on January 251 2019. Thus1
we are unable to question her further about the frequency and duration of her calls with
Council Member Dennis1 the frequency and duration of Council Member Dennis1 s calls
with her Council Executive Assistant,, the timing of those calls in relation to Council
meetings1 and the abrupt stop in phone activity between her and Council Member
Dennis.
Since Council Member Brosche would be the subject of potential violations (from
either her own contact with Council Member Dennis or her Council Executive
Assistanf s contact with Council Member Dennis)1 we are unwilling to immunize her
for a further statement as doing so would foreclose any future prosecution and would
also grant immunity if she disclosed other offenses.
3. Council Member Dennis
On August 291 2018, SAO investigators interviewed Council Member Dennis. He

said he knew all about the Sunshine Law and had nothing to hide. When asked if he
was aware of any communication between Council Members after hours on the phone,,
1
he stated that ,,.all he did was play golt and he didn't have time for all of that.1 When
presented with a form preservation letter1 he advised that he needed to speak with legal
counsel before talking further. Based upon his request for counsel, investigators were
unable to question him further about the initial complaint. As investigators left1
Council Member Dennis advised that he "would be in touch. 1 1
Subsequently,, on January 17, 20191 this office advised Council Member Dennis's
attorney that we wished to ask additional questions. Through counset on January 231
20191 Council Member Dennis declined the invitation. Thus, investigators are unable to
question him about the frequency and duration of his contacts with Council Member
Brosche and her Council Executive Assistant,, his use of selective caller identification
during some of those calls1 and the abrupt discontinuation of phone contact between his
number and Council Member Brosche's number shortly after the initial complaint that
. began this investigation.
4. Council Members Katrina Brown and Reginald Brown
11
Based upon their pending federal charges, this Office did not pursue interviews
of Katrina Brown and Reginald Brown. We did, however, indicate to the United States
Attorney's Office a desire to speak with them about Sunshine Law violations in the
event that either agreed to cooperate and provide a protected statement under Rule 11
of the Federal Rbles of Criminal Procedure or under the protections of a Federal plea
agreement with standard cooperation language. To date, neither has spoken with
Federal authorities pursuant to proffer letters or plea agreements. Given their status,
any information they might provide would be subject to heightened attacks on their
credibility based upon the serious nature of their pending Federal charges and the
substantial Federal prison time they are facing.
5. Council Member Reggie Gaffney

·,
On September 13, 2018, SAO investigators interviewed Council Member Reggie
Gaffney. Council Member Gaffney advised that he had no knowledge about potential
Sunshine Law violations. When asked about whether other Council Members had
contacted him about Council matters outside of official hearings or proceedings, he did
state that he had heard information "on the street" that someone was going to run
against another. person. When asked to clarify who he heard that from, he advised that
he could not remember. He did acknowledge being contacted by Council Member
Bowman about the matter. He specifically stated that he did not contact any other
Council Members for matters unrelated to Council business. Investigators did not
confront Council Member Gaffney about the volume of calls between him and Council
Member Katrina Brown at the time for the reasons outlined above.
At the time of the initial interviews, OGC attorney John Phillips appeared on
behalf of most Council Members. On January 26, 2019, we advised attorney Phillips
that we wished to determine if Council Member Gaffney could provide additional
information about the investigation. On January 29, 2019, attorney Phillips relayed to
Investigator Adams that Council Member Gaffney' s explanation would be that he spoke
with other Council Members, but he did not speak about Council business and would
be willing to answer questions about specific calls if requested.
6. Council Member Newby
Council Member Newby was interviewed on September 7, 2018. Newby stated

that he did not contact other Council Members outside of official meetings and
hearings, wi:th the exception of other Council Members may have contacted him to ask
when specific meetings started. He advised that he does not regularly have contact
12
with other Council Members unrelated to Council business, with the exception of
having a social dinner with Council Member Danny Becton two to three years ago.
Investigators did not confront Council Member Newby about the volume of calls
between him and Council Member Katrina Brown for the reasons outlined above:
At the time of the initial interviews, OGC attorney John Phillips appeared on
behalf of most Council Members. On January 26, 2019, we advised attorney Phillips
that we wished to determine if Council Member Newby could provide additional
information about the investigation. On January 29, 2019, attorney Phillips relayed to
Invesp.gator Adams that Council Member Newby's explanation would be that he spoke
with other Council Members, but he did not speak about Council business and would
be willing to answer questions about specific calls if requested.
7. Council Executive AssistantJeneen Sanders
Council Executive Assistant Jeneen Sanders was interviewed on September 10,

2018. She had no knowledge about any Sunshine Law violations. She advised that
most of her communications related to City Council matters were with other Council
Executive Assistants. By design, investigators confronted her during the interview with
the volume of calls between her and Council Member Dennis with the expectation that
she would either relay the existence of an offense or would provide some credible
explanation for why Council Member Dennis was contacting her far more than Council
Member Brosche was. She advised that she and Council Member Dennis were friends,
but she did not want to provide further information. She did state that none of her'
communications related to City business. She did not know of any changes in the
relationship between Council Member Brosche and Council Member Dennis that would
explain the abrupt stop in contact.
C. Compelled Statements
As part of the investigation, this office compelled the sworn testimony of Jeneen
Sanders, the Executive CounciJ Assistant for Council Member Brosche. During her
interview, Sanders did not want to relay why she spoke so often with Council Member
Dennis. Our concern was that Sanders may have served as a conduit for
communications between Council Member Brosche and Council Member Dennis based
on the volume of calls and the abrupt stop in calls between Council Member Brosche
and Council Member Dennis on February 28, 2018. As noted above, Sanders spent
substantially more time on the phone with Council Member Dennis than she did with
her own Council Member and spent more time on the phone with Council Member
Dennis than he spent on the phone with his own spouse. A State Attorney's
13
investigative subpoena12 for Ms. Sanders commanded her appearance on December 31
2018. At request of her counset we rescheduled that statement for January 71 2019. She
appeared on that date with Attorney Geddes Anderson and provided a sworn
statement under penalty of perjury.
In substance1 Ms. Sanders denied knowing anything about the initial complaint.
She denied ever acting as a conduit between Council Member Brosche and Council
Member Dennis. She did not recall if she had ever discussed Council business on her
phone with Council Member Dennis. She denied ever hearing Council Member
Brosche discussing Council business with Council Member Dennis. As an explanation
for the level of telephone contact between her phone and Council Member Dennis1 s
phone1 she advised that the two are friends. She testified that they generally discuss
topics like children1 schoot career1 health1 and family. The only explanation she could
provide about the level of telephone contact between Council Member Dennis and
Council Member Brosche was that the two were also friends. She had no explanation
for why the telephone contact between Council Member Brosche and Council Member
Dennis abruptly ceased after February 281 2018. During her statement1 Sanders
answered that she "did not recalY' in response to eleven different questions and made
clear at the end of the statement that her testimony was to the best of her recollection.
In sum1 no evident Sunshine Law violations could be established through Sanders1
testimony.
While we could compel involuntary statements from Council Members1 we

consciously decided not to compel statements from those Council Members whose
substantial telephone activity with other Council Members made them subjects of the
investigation. To compel that testimony with a State Attorney investigative subpoena
would necessarily grant use and derivative use immunity under Florida law to the
subjects of the investigation1 and doing so would prevent our ability to pursue future
criminal charges. See Fla. Stat. § 914.04 (2017). Also1 without knowing what the subjects
might say1 granting that level of immunity potentially could provide immunity for
offenses beyond Florida Sunshine Law violations.
D. Limitations on Normal Investigative Techniques
Due to the offenses at issue being second-degree misdemeanors, the law limited
investigative tools we could use. We necessarily relied on telephone toll analysis1
voluntary interviews1 and voluntary disclosures by subjects of the investigation.
12 By compelling Ms. Sanders's testimony, we granted her immunity in accordance with Florida law. Fla. Stat. §
914.04 (2017).
14
The essential evidence needed to prove a knowing violation of the Florida
Sunshine Law is the actual content of communications that should have been in the
· open. Simple evidence of contact between identified people, standing alone, does not
establish what they communicated about. Normally, we obtain content through
voluntary disclosure by witnesses, consent searches, compelled searches by search
warrant, or real-time interception by Court-authorized electronic surveillance.
Because the suspected offenses here are second-degree misdemeanors, Florida

law limits our ability to use search warrants. Unless we can establish that the phones
were used "as a means to commit any crime/ we must show that the phones constitute
"evidence relevant to proving that a felony has been committed. § 933.02(2)(a) and (3)
11
(2017). We did not develop sufficient probable cause to establish that particular phones
were used as a means to commit particular criminal Sunshine Law violations. The only
articulable facts that we could specify in a warrant application would be the contested
facts about an in-person meeting between Council Member Dennis and Council
Member Crescimbeni, and that allegation did not involve a phone.
Another useful tool for obtaining content of priyate communications is the real.:.
time interception of wire or electronic communications, a tool commonly referred to as
a wiretap. Florida law, however, does not authorize the use of wiretaps to investigate
Florida Sunshine Law offenses. See Fla. Stat.§ 934.07(1)(a) (2017) (listing authorized
crimes for which electronic surveillance can be used).
The level of offense, therefore, limited what we could use lawful process to
obtain in this investigation.
III. LEGAL ANALYSIS
Our investigation focused upon whether potential prosecutions for violating

Florida1 s Sunshine Law, Section 286.011(3)(b), Florida Statutes, were sustainable. Based
upon the currently known fact� and existing law, we conclude that they are not. Our
legal analysis follows.
The Florida Constitution makes clear that "[a]ll meetings of any collegial public
bodi of the executive branch of state government or of any collegial public body of a
county, municipality, school district, or special district, at which official acts are to be
taken or at which public business of such body is to be transacted or discussed, shall be
open and noticed to the public .. . ' Fla. Const. Art. I§ 24(b).
1
15
Florida statutory law implements the public's right to open government and
directs that "[a]ll meetings of any board or commission of any state agency or authority
or of any agency or authority of any county, municipal corporation, or political
subdivision ..., at which official acts are to be taken are declared to be public meetings
open to the public at all times, and no resolution, rule,. or formal action shall be
considered binding except as taken or made at such meeting. The board or commission
must provide reasonable notice of all such meetings." Fla. Stat.§ 286.011(1) (2017). This
statutory provision is commonly known as the Florida Sunshine Law.
Open government is the expected norm. "The principle to be followed is very

simple: When in doubt, the members of any board, agency, authority or commission
should follow the open-meeting policy of the State." Town of Palm Beach v. Gradison, 296
So. 2d 473, 477 (Fla. 1974). The Sunshine Law applies to any gathering between two or
more Council Members who meet and discuss some matter on which foreseeable action
may be taken. See Board of Public Instruction of Broward County v. Doran, 224 So. 2d 693,
698 (Fla. 1969) (intent of the Sunshine Law is to "cover any gathering of the members
where the members deal with some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by
the board").
The Florida Attorney General has noted a few exceptions that might apply here.
Council Members may "prepare and distribute their own position statements to other
. council members ... so long as the council members avoid any discussion or debate
among themselves on these statements. However, to the extent that any such
communication is a response to another commissioner's statement, it may constitute a
violation of the Government in the Sunshine Law to circulate the responsive statement."
Op. Att'y Gen. Fla. 2001-21, 2001 WL 276607 (2001). Also,. '<a city commissioner may,
outside a public meeting, send documents that the commissioner wishes other members
of the commission to consider on matters coming before the commission for official
action, provided that there is no response from, or interaction related to such
,
documents among, the commissioners prior to the public meeting.,. Op. Att'y Gen. Fla.
2007-35, 2007 WL 2461925 (2007).
An unintentional violation of the Florida Sunshine Law is a civil matter

subjecting the offender to a fine of up to $500. See Fla. Stat. § 286.011(3)(a) (2017). A
knowing violation of the Florida Sunshine Law, though, is a criminal offense and
constitutes a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine
of up to $500. See Fla. Stat.§ 286.011(3)(b) (2017).
Two potential Florida Sunshine Law violations exist here. The first is the original
allegation that Council Member Dennis brokered votes to offer to Council Member
16
Crescimbeni if he ran for Council President. The second is the substantial telephone
activity between various Council Members, coupled with their denials about the level of
their communications with other Council Members.
With regard to the initial complaint about the contact between Council Member
Dennis and Council Member Crescimbeni, our investigation produced insufficient
admissible proof to support a prosecution. Council Member Crescimbeni denies the
allegation. The initial report identified no potential witnesses to the exchange other
than Council Member Crescimbeni and Council Member Dennis. We know of no
admissions by Council Member Dennis to any other person in which he admitted that
the exchange took place. We do not have the purported business card (if it even exists)
that might be subject to fingerprint analysis, DNA analysis, or handwriting analysis.
Council Member Dennis made no admissions to our investigators when they
interviewed him, and through his counsel, he now refuses to answer additional
questions.
Several Council Members did, in fact, relay that Council Member Dennis told
them he was not voting for Council Member Bowman or made derogatory comments
about Council Member Bowman. These statements would corroborate that Council
Member Dennis was speaking to others about opposing Council Member Bowman as
Council President, but they would not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Council
Member Dennis committed the conduct at issue. Also, although the Florida Attorney
General's Office has indicated it "would strongly discourage such activity," merely
stating what a Council Member plans to do without seeking input or dialogue is not a
Sunshine Law Violation. Op. Att'y Gen. Fla. 2001-21, 2001 WL 276607 (2001). We
simply cannot prove a knowing violation of the Sunshine Law based on those
statements.
Korman's account of what Council Member Crescimbeni told her would not be
admissible during the State's case in chief. Council Member Crescimbeni denies that
Council Member Dennis approached him as reported. Korman' s testimony in a
prosecution against Dennis would be hearsay. See Fla. Stat. § 90.801 (2017).
Additionally, we cannot call Council Member Crescimbeni to testify about what did not
happen, if our primary purpose in calling him would be to impeach him with
inconsistent statements he made to Korman. See, e.g., Bradley v. State, 214 So.3d 648, 655-
56 (Fla. 2017) (reiterating that "a party may not call a witness primarily for the purpose
of getting an inadmissible statement before the jury as impeachment").
The second potential Sunshine Law violation is the hours of yet-explained

telephone activity between Council Members. Phone toll analysis shows that a number
17
of Council Members spent many hours on the phone with one another. When asked,
they denied talking about City business (other than routine scheduling matters) and
initially denied any personal business that would generate that level of activity.
Unfortunately, we do not have the content of their communications. Because of the
level of the potential offense, we cannot use normal investigative tools to secure that
content. We are unable to seek search warrants or wiretaps, and we cannot otherwise
compel testimony without granting immunity.
Our analysis would be remiss, though, without discussing the use of potentially
false or misleading statements by Council Members as admissible consciousness-of
guilt evidence. By way of review, between October 1, 2017 and September 28, 2018,
telephone toll analysis showed 454 calls between Council Member Dennis and, Council
Member Brosche for a total duration of about 62 hours, with an abrupt stop shortly after
we received the original complaint. Council Member Dennis, when asked if he was
aware of any communication between Council Members after hours on the phone,
stated that "all he did was play golf, and he didn't have time for all of that." Council
Member Brosche told investigators that she had not communicated with other Council
, Members outside of official hearings or proceedings, but she has communicated with
them about times of meetings or their attendance. She advised that she does not
regularly contact other Council Members for matters unrelated to Council business.
Similarly, telephone toll analysis showed that between October 1, 2017, and July
18, 2018, 1,804 contacts took place between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone
number and Council Member Reggie Gaffney's phone number with a total duration of
about 74 hours. When asked about talking on the phone about Council business,
Council Member Gaffney relayed only the incident involving Council Member
Bm,yman. He specifically stated that he did not contact any other Council Members for
matters unrelated to Council business. Through his counsel, we now understand that
he would state he never discussed Council business with Council Member Katrina
Brown.
Telephone toll analysis showed that between October 1, 2017, and July 18, 2018,
737 contacts took place between Council Member Katrina Brown's phone number and
Council Member Sam Newby' s phone number with a total duration of about 38 hours.
When questioned, Council Member Newby stated that he does not regularly have
contact with other Council Members unrelated to Council business, with the exception
of having a social dinner with Council Member Danny Becton two to three years ago.
- Through his counsel, we now understand that he would state he never discussed
Council business with Council Member Katrina Brown.
18
Common sense dictates that Council members do not spend 62 hours/ 74 hours/
and 38 hours on the phone with other Council Members discussing simple scheduling
matters or irregular personal matters. Council Members/ initial denials of having
substantial telephone contact with other Council Members before being confronted with
•. the actual records provides some evidence-perhaps. compelling evidence-of
knowledge and intent. Because we are unable to show the actual content of the
communications/ though/ we could never establish beyond a reasonable doubt that any
one call or any group of partic1:1lar calls violated the Florida Sunshine Law.
For these reasons/ we are unable to prove a prima facie case that any particular
Council Member violated the Sunshine Law by their telephone activity without more.·
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons outlined above/ I am taking no further action and closing this
investigation.
