 Section 2.  The Legislature finds that it is a public 408 
necessity that the home addresses, telephone numbers, and dates 409 
of birth of current county administrators, deputy county 410 
administrators, assistant county administrators, city managers, 411 
deputy city managers, and assistant city managers; the names, 412 
home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, photographs, 413 
and places of employment of the spouses and children of current 414 
county administrators, deputy county administrators, assistant 415 
county administrators, city managers, deputy city managers, and 416 
assistant city managers; and the names and locations of schools 417 
and day care facilities attended by the children of current 418 
county administrators, deputy county administrators, assistant 419 
county administrators, city managers, deputy city managers, and 420 
assistant city managers be made exempt from s. 119.07(1), 421

information, the release of which could cause great financial or 426 
professional harm to the individual. In the course of performing 427 
their managerial functions , current county administrators, 428 
deputy county administrators, assistant county administrators, 429 
city managers, deputy city managers, and assistant city managers 430 
may make decisions and determinations that upset members of the 431 
public and may incur the ill wi ll of those residents, making 432 
current county administrators, deputy county administrators, 433 
assistant county administrators, city managers, deputy city 434 
managers, and assistant city managers and their spouses and 435 
children targets for acts of revenge. If such identifying and 436 
location information is released, the safety of current county 437 
administrators, deputy county administrators, assistant county 438 
administrators, city managers, deputy city managers, and 439 
assistant city managers and their spouses and children c ould be 440 
seriously jeopardized. For these reasons, the Legislature finds 441 
that it is a public necessity that such information be made 442 
exempt from public records requirements. 443
