2024 Public Meeting Recordings

Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Metuchen Parking Authority as part of a batch sent to 25 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.

The authority would like to / has responded by postal mail to this request.

Dear Metuchen Parking Authority,

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: 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.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

Metuchen Parking Authority

Mr. Kravotil - the Metuchen Parking Authority does has audio recordings
of the September - December, 2024 Commissioners meeting. I need to
determine a way to transfer the audio to a media I can then provide to
you. I will need a 2 week extension to your OPRA request to do so. I
will let you know when it is ready and what the cost will be to you for
the audio recording.

Dear Mr. Muldoon,
Thanks for your reply. I think there's a couple of cost-free ways to transfer the recordings, assuming they are in the form of computer files. I recommend Google Drive or WeTransfer.com. Alternatively, you could put the files on a flash drive (or I could bring one for you to use). I only ask that you get approval from me before incurring any costs, if you plan on passing on the cost to us. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

Metuchen Parking Authority

I'm pursuing a cost free option. I will let you know if there will be a
fee prior to doing anything.
