Dear Madame Clerk,
I have some issues with the response provided on March 29, regarding my request for 2023 meeting schedules. I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hope you will appreciate me pointing out the issues many months later, so we can continue to improve transparency about county government meetings.
Firstly, the link provided for Improvement Authority meetings indicates no upcoming meetings, when in fact there are meetings that have been scheduled and noticed. The same is true for the Tax Board.
Similarly, the Election Board's regular meetings are not listed at their link: https://middlesexcountynj.primegov.com/p...
Please provide me with the schedules of all upcoming meetings of the above three boards (MCIA, Tax Board, and Election Board).
Further, the documents you provided for the Utilities Authority and the Board of Social Services do not indicate the meeting locations, and the same is true for the information compiled into a Word document for the Aging/Senior Citizen & Disabled Transportation Advisory Council. The documents for the Solid Waste Advisory Council and the Magnet Schools Board of School Estimate were unclear about the location, as was the information provided for the Otlowski Center of Mental Health Care Community Advisory Board.
Please confirm the meeting locations for each of the above six entities.
Similarly, the following meetings are held using conferencing software, but no links were provided:
Keep Middlesex Moving, Inc. Board
Homelessness Trust Fund Task Force
Workforce Development Board
Please provide the links for each of the meetings for the above three entities. Thanks very much, I truly appreciate your assistance with these requests.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil

Dear Charlie:
I write in response to your public records request seeking “the most
recent public notice of public meetings for the following entities:
Keep Middlesex Moving
Board Homelessness Trust Fund Task Force
Workforce Development Board”
Pursuant to your request, attached please find notices for the
Homelessness Task Force and the Workforce Development Board. As to Keep
Middlesex Moving, the County has no responsive records because the County
is not custodian for KMM’s records as, upon information and belief, that
organization is a non-profit corporation separate from the County.
I trust that this is fully responsive to your request, but please advise
immediately if I am in error.
