2024 Public Meeting Recordings
Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to South Amboy City as part of a batch sent to 35 authorities Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.
Dear South Amboy City,
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

Thanks, Erin. I don't see where these records are available on the city
website. That's why I filed the request.
Can you please link me to the specific page of the website where I can
find the public meeting recordings for 2024?
Thanks again,
Charlie

Dear South Amboy City,
Thank you for your assistance in locating the meeting recordings on your website. Can you please provide me with copies of the digital audio files that were uploaded to the gallery? The gallery/website does not allow for the recordings to be downloaded as digital audio files and I require those files. Please advise, thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
Can you please send me an address and I will mail you the drive with the South Amboy 2024 meetings.
Thanks,
deb

Charlie - I did receive your request and am trying to follow up - my assistant who handles OPRAs has been out so I am a little behind. I will need a little extension time to get the results follow up request completed.
