Winter Park withheld report on historic preservation - Orlando Sentinel

I have heard a lot about Winter Park and a spate of demolitions of historic resources. It is generating some concern by the public and how and why these requests are being handled in a panicked response. And, in Florida, we have our public records law where a draft of a report - if it breaches the threshold of any public official's office - it is part of the public record and should be readily available when requested. That's not what is happening in Winter Park. Click title for link. From the article:

 I requested Bland's report from Lindsey Hayes, a senior city planner, and city spokeswoman Clarissa Howard, on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Hayes wrote in an email that the city "does not have an advanced copy of Thursday's presentation."
"So you're telling me he hasn't submitted a draft or anything else to the city?" I asked in an email.
Again I was told that Bland had not yet submitted a report to the city.
That seemed unlikely, so I requested the correspondence between Bland and City Hall staffers.
This week the city provided those records (in the way public-records access should work).
According to those emails, Bland sent over a draft report on the morning of Nov. 5, more than a week before I asked for a copy. "Draft" was written in the subject line.
Florida law says that the public is entitled to review draft reports, not just final products.
