r1t) <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />TO: Jason Brown <br />County Administrator <br />DATE: September 2, 2016 <br />SUBJECT: File Parameters <br />FROM: Basil D. Dancy <br />Computer Services Manager <br />I have been asked to authenticate the identity of the author of a report/presentation referenced by <br />Barry Shapiro in a recent news article questioning the efficacy of a county facility (Spoonbill <br />March). While we have not received a copy of this report directly from Mr. Shapiro (see e-mail <br />dated September 1, 2016), a copy was sent to Mr. Vincent Burke, Director of Utility Services, by <br />Mr. Thomas Hardy on August 26, 2016 (copy attached). <br />Upon investigation of the file submitted by Mr. Hardy, it is apparent from the properties of the file <br />that it started out as a PowerPoint presentation authored by Mr. Carter Taylor. It was then <br />converted to an Acrobat PDF file on August 25, 2016. These pieces of information are set by the <br />program used when the file is created. The created date references when the file was converted to <br />the PDF format not the original presentation date. We would need to get a copy of the original <br />PowerPoint file to see when it was created but from viewing the PDF file there are dates in the <br />presentation which imply the presentation was created on August 5, 2016. Due to the nature of the <br />PDF file format the information listed cannot be changed after the file is created so no user could <br />alter the data referenced and displayed in the screen shots attached without these changes being <br />readily apparent. <br />t <br />Basil D.
