Dear Englishtown 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:
This request is being submitted anonymously pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f).

Please provide electronic copies of the following government records for the period June 1, 2026 through the date of this request:

All resolutions, contracts, engagement letters, purchase orders, vouchers, invoices, or other records reflecting the retention or proposed retention of special counsel, outside counsel, investigative counsel, criminal defense counsel, ethics counsel, or other attorneys or law firms by the Borough of Englishtown.
All resolutions or other public records authorizing additional legal services outside the ordinary scope of services provided by the Borough Attorney.
The Borough's bill lists/check registers showing payments to attorneys, law firms, investigators, consultants, or legal-service providers during this period.

Electronic copies are requested where available.

If any responsive record contains information that the Borough contends is exempt from disclosure, please provide the reasonably segregable non-exempt portions of the record and identify the legal basis for each redaction or withholding.

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.

Yours faithfully,

AZ
