Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Trenton City as part of a batch sent to 37 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 Trenton City,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under the OPRA and the common law right of access. I am a journalist with New Brunswick Today and Trenton Makes News, and require the records for my reporting on New Jersey's local governments, school districts, and autonomous authorities. 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.
Please provide a copy of your current directory of appointed officials, as of today, 10/1/2024, including at least the following information for every authority, board and commission:
(a) the name of the authority, board, or commission;
(b) the number of members or positions;
(c) a list of currently appointed members, along with their terms of office;
(d) vacancies;
(e) general frequency of meetings; and
(f) the appointing authority and the enabling statute, ordinance, or resolution, if any.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as an attachment.
If no current directory exists, or if the directory is missing some of the above information, be guided by NJSA 40A:9-9.2, which requires the above directory to be maintained on an ongoing basis and to include, at a minimum, the information that I am presently requesting.
Please confirm you have received this request, and feel free to contact me at 732-993-9697 if I can be helpful in clarifying this request. Thanks very much and have a nice day.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil

Dear Mr. Garcia,
I spoke to you on Friday and you indicated this request fell within your department. Why do you require another extension?

Subject: Re: Council meeting
Hello Mr. Garcia,
I've requested the meeting schedules for the City Council and other city
entities more than 3 weeks ago, but received no response from your
office: [7]https://opramachine.com/request/2025_pub...
Based on the information on [8]this webpage, I tried to attend last
night's scheduled meeting on zoom. Apparently the meeting was cancelled.
You need to update the website with an accurate schedule and respond to my
OPRA request. I also have several other requests that your office has not
fulfilled, some dating back to October.
[9]https://opramachine.com/request/appointe...
[10]https://opramachine.com/request/basic_em...
[11]https://opramachine.com/request/2024_mun...
What are we going to do about this?
Sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil

Hello,
I am trying to join the Council meeting via zoom. It says "Waiting for
the hose to start the meeting." Please advise if the meeting has
started. If it has and the link on the city website is incorrect,
provide the correct link.
