Dear Monmouth County,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under NJSA 47:1A-10 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 payroll records, documents, lists, reports or statements sufficient to show:
1) the name, title/position, department/division, current salary, and hire date for all salaried employees as of today, October 1, 2024
2) the name, title/position, department/division, current hourly pay rate(s), and hire date for all hourly employees, as of today, October 1, 2024
3) the names of all current employees enrolled in each public pension system as of today, October 1, 2024
4) the names of all current and former employees receiving compensation in the form of a healthcare program/plan as of today, October 1, 2024
5) the name and pay status of each employee currently suspended from duty, as of today, October 1, 2024
6) the name, title/position, department/division, final salary, hire date, separation date, and reason for separation for all employees who left employment since January 1, 2024
7) the 2024 total year-to-date (YTD) base pay, overtime pay, and other extra pay for each current or former employee, including all stipends/allowances, bonuses, reimbursements and other payments or perks granted each employee, as of today, October 1, 2024
If an employee has different rates of pay for different work or different roles, please indicate each of the pay rates in the response. Please also be specific about the stated purpose of any extra payments, such as bonuses, stipends, and reimbursements.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments, and the preferred file type is Microsoft Excel spreadsheet(s). 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.

A document has been released for record request #24-2116
along with the following message:
Attached please find documents responsive to your
request.
Please be advised that the balance of your request, as
currently written, is denied because it is overly broad,
unclear and not a request for specific identifiable
government records.
I direct your attention to the GRC opinion re: Complaint
No. 2008-51 which provides in relevant part:
“[w]hile OPRA provides an alternative means of access to
government documents not otherwise exempted from its
reach, it is not intended as a research tool litigants
may use to force government officials to identify and
siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA simply operates
to make identifiable government records ‘readily
accessible for inspection, copying or examination.” MAG
Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcohol Beverage
Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 546 (App. Div. 2005). The
Court further held that “[u]nder OPRA, agencies are
required to disclose only ‘identifiable’ government
records not otherwise exempt. Wholesale requests for
general information to be analyzed, collated and compiled
by the responding government entity are not encompassed
therein. In short, OPRA does not countenance open-ended
searches of an agency’s files. Emphasis supplied. Page 5.
Furthermore, “a requestor must specifically describe the
document sought because OPRA operates to make
identifiable government records ‘accessible.’ As such, a
proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable
clarity those documents that are desired, and a party
cannot satisfy this requirement by simply requesting all
of an agency’s documents.” Page 6. Requests for “any and
all documents” which do not provide identifiers other
than broad generic descriptions do not satisfy this
requirement. Custodians are also not required to conduct
research or create new records in response to an OPRA
request and are permitted to deny access for such
requests.
If you resubmit your request identifying specific
documents, the County will make every effort to provide
any responsive documents that exist.
