Dear Mansfield Township (Warren),

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under New Jersey's 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 AUDIO FILES OF PUBLIC MEETINGS in their original format (e.g., DCR) with metadata of the following Public Meetings for the period between January 1, 2026 and MARCH 25, 2026.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is via this website (OPRAMACHINE.COM). 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.

Please complete this request within the statutory period and acknowledge receipt of this message.

Thank you,
Bill Sosis

Dear Township Clerk,

Thanks for the quick turnaround, I appreciate it.
If it works on your end, could you start with the March 25, 2025 audio file first, then work backward from there? You can skip 01/07/2026, I already have that one.

One question. Why doesn’t the Township use something like Dropbox for file delivery? For a relatively low annual cost, you’d get around 3 TB of storage. With audio files at roughly 20 MB each, that’s about 150 files at once without juggling multiple emails. Seems like it would save you time on your end and avoid breaking these up.

Dear Township Clerk,

Thank you for taking the time to provide the audio files. I’ve successfully downloaded them.

At this point, you are free to remove the files from Dropbox if you need to preserve storage capacity, especially since the recordings will soon be available on the Township’s website.

I do want to note that once the files are deleted from Dropbox, the link previously provided will become inactive, and the recordings will no longer be accessible through that link to the public.

Thank you again for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Bill Sosis
