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 emails from 12/1/23 - 12/31/24 from elected officials including but not limited to the mayor, town councilman, and the planning board.

Kimberly Mathewson, Raritan Borough

Mr. Allen, 
     I am in receipt of your OPRA request, received on 01-13-2025.  Your
request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the specific government
records sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381
N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div.  2005).  At this time, we request
clarification of your OPRA request.  Please respond in writing and
identify the specific records sought so that we may process your
request.   Failure to provide written clarification of your request will
result in the closure of this OPRA request.

Kimberly Mathewson
