Dear Civil Service Commission,
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:
This OPRA is seeking responsive documents to include emails or any communications from August 21, 2025, and today, January 8, 2026, between: James Geraci, Keith Appleby, Stephanie Puca, Jennifer Robb, and/or Sean Bystrzycki at the NJ CSC, and:
Pompton Lakes’ borough employees Mr. Michael Carelli, and/or Captain Anthony Rodriguez, regarding:
•The position of Chief of police;
•Any questions or clarifications on waivers;
•Announcements for the police chief’s competitive examination;
•Any copies of mailed-in submissions (applications) for a waiver.
•Any discussions of appeals filed for the waiver of competitive examination for Chief of police.
•Any formal certification made by the CSC determining and asserting OIC Rodriguez as acting chief of police.
Thank you for your assistance.
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.
