RECAP
May 26 2005 I dropped off the corespondence at the Mayor’s office with a request that he let
me know of his intentions.
August 12 2005 I drove back down to the Mayor’s Office to find out that my inquiry was
passed on to Carmen Smith so I wrote her.
October 5 2005 I received her e-mail informing me that my package has been received by the
Mayor’s Office.
5
As of at least October 5 2005 the file has been in your hands. Carmen never mentioned when
it went to you
It is now January 5 2006 at least 3 months since you were handed the file and I remain patient
to hear from you.
Imagine my surprise
I went to my e-mail to send the above to you where I noticed that you had already responded
to me. I have been extremely busy on other pressing matters for the past 2 months not
allowing me time to attend to my e-mail. I had forgotten that I had e-mailed you October 18
2005.
Being of sound mind I conclude that the Mayor’s office is not the office to deal
with this matter.
FYI
There are several copies distributed around in safe locations should there become no record of
me.
By the time you receive this letter copies of it will have been distributed likewise.
I thank the Mayor’s Office, CITY of TORONTO for their cooperation and actions providing
more evidence lending credence to that which was contained in the 2 inch thick package that
you have no record of receiving through the Mayor’s Office.
Recent news of the War VETS finally winning their quest after death suggests to me that the
Federal level is not a reasonable avenue to pursue so I will look else where.
I will now expand and hasten my quest to seek out persons who can help in my endeavor to
help mankind help themselves.
Sincerely
Frank Gallagher

I thank you for meeting with me and my friend Dave at the Mayor’s Office last Thursday 30 2006.
We had just dropped in at the Mayor’s Office without appointment where we were greeted by
Joanne Miller (Receptionist) who looked up the whereabouts of my papers. Joanne was sitting in for
Dalton who was on vacation. I noticed the name plate attached to the counter. “Dalton Djantzi” but
it did not identify his position.
On the computer screen she pulled up the e-mail from Carmen Smith, Special Assistant to the
Mayor dated October 5 2005 which I showed you.
Joanne Miller had called Mathew Lee upon my request to find my papers and I assume he referred
the matter to you.
You mentioned that you had already seen this on your own computer before coming to meet with
me.
During our conversation I asked you to read a copy of the e-mail I received from Fareed Amin,
Deputy City Manager which you did rather quickly.
You didn’t see anything out of the ordinary which I questioned and asked you to read it again.
You did and explained to me that the Deputy City Manager is from a different department.
You were from the political department and I offered that Fareed was with the bureaucratic
department which you confirmed.
I asked again if you didn’t see anything particularly unusual with Fareed’s e-mail which you still
replied NO.
The evidence obviously indicates that my papers came through the Mayor’s office and got as far as
Carmen Smith who informed me that they were forwarded to Fareed sometime before October 5
2005.
8
I am just an ordinary person who reads things in ordinary English and am not gifted in political
speak and must assume that both Carmen and Fareed are coherent to that fact.
In ordinary language I interpret Fareed’s e-mail to state that his office had communicated with the
Mayor’s Office on more than one occasion and yet Fareed had no idea that that my paper’s had
been forwarded to his office by Carmen Smith who states so in her e-mail.
If they disappeared in transit from Carmen to Fareed I would have expected a response in that
fashion and if that really was the case I would like an explanation as to how the papers were
delivered, by whom, to whom etc.
I sent an e-mail to Carmen Smith on January 15 2006 requesting answers to the obvious questions
that would arise when documents go missing but Carmen did not respond. I have attached a copy of
that e-mail.
It is readily apparent that the contents of these papers which are of a serious nature regarding huge
wastes of the tax payers money doesn’t concern the Mayor’s Office. That, I suspect is not unusual
to his Office.
It is also apparent that Carmen Smith had plenty of time to read my papers and I suggest that she
must have done so to decide where the papers should be redirected.
It is now my understanding that you would have me believe that the missing papers are missing as a
result of the Mayor’s Office incompetence.
The City Manager’s Office has not seen the papers, is how you read it, so they can not be involved.
If the Mayor’s Office is concerned then please show the attachment to Carmen Smith when she
returns from where ever she is and ask her to respond to it immediately
While we are waiting for her I request that you show this and the attachment to the Mayor
immediately and ask him to respond to me.
I ask that you keep me informed once again even though you feel it is a too much of a bother.
Thank you,
Frank Gallagher

Dear Carmen

I have attached a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Farid Amin January 5 2006
(Note that his name is Fareed Amin)
Please pay particular attention to page 6(see copy below from Fareed Amin dated November 4
2005)
It matters naught to me how and when you respond to these questions, however, I suggest that your
response is of the utmost importance to you.
I have no doubt that you are an intelligent person with a respectful background with City Hall.
I have brought a serious matter to the attention of the Mayor’s Office which I presume that you are
aware of just how serious it is. It is escalating.
FYI
The Mayor’s Office has now provided evidence to confirm that my concerns mentioned in my 19
writings to the Legal Surveys Property Management Department are inherent to the whole system.
I do not know if you are aware that I have other matters pending which the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police are involved with. I await their report.
I also have other matters going on with the York Regional Police, the Province of Ontario, Housing
Rental Tribunal, Investigations and Enforcement and the Sherriff’s Office.
All of my concerns are well documented and they all are related and come to the same conclusion.
11
I have forwarded the e-mail from Fareed Amin dated November 4 2005 to various newspapers,
Toronto Sun, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, York Region Advocate and four of its affiliates.
I have sent to all the branches of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and I will be sending the City
of Toronto Police department a heads up on the matter should anything happen to me.
I have many copies distributed to many acquaintances, and friends who can not be traced by
confiscating my computer.
All of the above will have been informed before you receive this.
So far, I have been unsuccessful in bringing this information to the public but let me assure you that
I am a determined man.
I will begin my search for a lawyer immediately to take over from here.
So, the 20 questions I have asked you to respond to are of a simple nature which require a simple
answer.
You will have opened it on January 16 2006 and given the importance of this matter it would
generally be presumed that a competent person could and would respond immediately.
I expect you to do so
As they say, Opportunity knocks but once

PS
I have also sent it to Jack Layton. N.D.P.

Hi Fareed
On April the 5th 2006 I sent an e-mail requesting that you detail your efforts
to find these papers which I have yet to receive your response.
I did so to remove the possibility that they may get lost again and to assure
that there be no doubt as to which papers are on the table.
I request that you respond now to confirm that you received my April 5
2006 e-mail and whether or not you have read my 19 papers.
Assuming that you have had sufficient time to look at them I ask that you bring
me up to speed as to the actions you have taken to address my concerns.
I remind you that it is now over a year since I first delivered these papers to
the Mayor's office and I have every reason to be concerned as to the manner
which the importance of the subject matter is being dealt with.
Thank you
Frank Gallagher

Mr. Gallagher:

Thanks for the e-mail and my apologies for being so tardy in my response. I
have been completely swamped over the last few months addressing budgetary items
and other day to day issues.
I would like to reiterate that my office has no record of receiving your package
of related correspondence which you claimed you have dropped off to the Mayor's
office on May 26, 2005. My Executive Assistant has repeatedly contacted Carmen
Smith of the Mayor's office to track your papers but without success.
I have retrieved your papers through the website and will respond to you upon
completion of my review.
Fareed Amin
Deputy City Manager
June 5 2006
Mr. Amin:
I appreciate your prompt attention to my 30 May 2006 e-mail .I am sorry you have
been swamped with budgetary items and other day to day issues.
Please note that I do not claim to have dropped off a package and related
correspondence to the Mayor's office.
I did drop off a package and related correspondence to the Mayor's office on
May 26 2005 and Dalton Djantzi received me and provided me with a receipt and
stamped it "Office of the Mayor 05 May 26 PM 4:00"
On August 12 2005 I went back down to the Mayor's office with my mother where
Dalton greeted me again. He went to his computer and within a couple of minutes
informed me that Carmen Smith now had my papers and then wrote her name, e-mail
address and phone number on an identical piece of paper to the original receipt,
stamped it "Office of the Mayor 5 Aug 12 PM 2:57"
I e-mailed Carmen Smith the same day when I got home and she e-mailed me October
5 2005 to acknowledge that she had received my package and related
correspondence and any further inquiries should be directed to you.
Please see page 4 of the attached e-mail that I had originally sent to you on
January 5 2006 which confirms this.
Carmen did not state that she had passed on my package and related
correspondence to you and I apologize for making what seemed to me a logical
presumption.
I have also attached a copy of the e-mail I sent to Irene Schneider and you
April 3 2006.

I know that it would have taken a considerable amount of your valuable time
to read through my papers and I appreciate very much your prompt attention
to my concerns.
You are correct in identifying two areas of concern dealing with standardization
of procedures and technical surveying issues and certainly must be dealt with,
however there are other issues more important which are the reason there is
so much waste of the Canadian tax payers money.
The two areas of concern which you have identified are symptoms of the more
important issues.
These symptoms run rampant throughout the public offices and I have quite a
pile of correspondence with public offices to prove my allegations.
You will note that I make reference to the protection of homeowners and
taxpayers there.
The City Survey Management team never considered the people who pay their
salary.
Not one of the supervisors who were asked to comment had the
taxpayer in mind.
I should also mention that I was not invited to comment. I just nosed my way
in.
17
Each paper contains issues that need to be dealt with and each paper requires
a response.
Each of those responses are the main issues.
It has been 3 years since I first wrote the Surveys Management team and I
have yet to receive a written response to any of my papers.
They are all important issues, they deserve answers and I will not rest
until I get them.
Thank you,
Frank Gallagher

You state
So, do we just say, “Oh well, I guess that’s how it is. C’est la vie?”
Is Carmen Smith, Special Assistant, Office of the Mayor allowed to just ignore
your efforts to track my papers?
Is Carmen Smith, Special Assistant, Office of the Mayor allowed to just ignore
my efforts to track my papers?
If this is the norm then I would have to ask why and I suggest that your
Executive assistant had to waste taxpayer’s money attempting to get information
from the Mayor’s Office due to the uncooperative Carmen Smith.
If the Mayor’s office is without guilt why would they clam up? Why would they
not forward you the papers? Why would they just not say they lost them if that
was the case? I suggest that it is too late for that response now.
Proper questions directed to the right people may someday leave you left less
swamped in budgetary items and day to day issues.
You may say “Ya right, I’d be fired and you would be swamped with personal
budgetary items and day to day issues.”
Each unanswered question multiplies itself, you may have observed, hence more
work.
