Dear South Plainfield Borough,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide copies of all press releases, press advisories, and other invitations or announcements sent to members of the press by the Mayor's Office, governing body, or municipal departments (including the police) during the year 2024.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Thanks, as always, for your assistance with my requests.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
Hi Mr. Kratovil,
I am happy to process your request, but I just need a little terminology clarification as to what you mean by a "press advisory" and "announcements". I view legal notices differently from what you are seeking, but just want to be sure. Are you also seeking legal notices? I.e. bidder notices, planning zoning board applications, ordinance publications? Or do you just want what we would send to the press to announce a situation at hand, or to invite the press to attend a special type of event, all the police releases, etc.
As an FYI for legal notices in the spirit of trying to be helpful, I can point you to the Associated Press Website for all legal notices published: https://www.njpublicnotices.com/(S(bt2iq...
