Subject: [EXTERNAL] OPRA request - 2024 Public Meeting Recordings
 
Dear Raritan 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-6(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: all existing recordings of public meetings held in
2024.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail
as attachments.  However, I recognize that many recordings, especially
video recordings, are too large to send via email.  If that is the case, I
can recommend: 1) uploading the recordings to a Google Drive folder and
sharing it with my Google account: ckratovil, or 2) using the free service
WeTransfer to send the recordings to my email address:
[email address].

I am also open to other methods, including picking up a flash drive or
CD/DVD at your office, or receiving the same via US mail at our PO Box:
#3180, New Brunswick, NJ 08903.  Please confirm you have received this
request and feel free to contact me at 732-993-9697 with any questions or
to make any necessary arrangements.    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.

Thank you very much for your assistance with this request.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil
