Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Spotswood Borough as part of a batch sent to 100 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 Spotswood Borough,
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.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Spotswood Borough,
Please confirm if you received my OPRA request titled "Basic Employee Info as of 10/1/2024" - I sent it October 1, but have not yet received a response. Please advise, thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
We are in receipt of your OPRA request. On June 5, Governor Murphy signed
Senate Bill 2930 into law, which significantly amends New Jersey’s Open
Public Records Act (OPRA) with an effective date of September 3, 2024.
Please be advised that due to the new changes to the law regarding the
disclosure of government records, the Clerk’s Office may require
additional time to ensure compliance with the new provisions.
Please be further advised that the Borough has been inundated with OPRA
request which will require the Borough additional time to respond to your
request. Indeed, the sheer number of requests have caused a substantial
disruption to the operations of the Borough Clerk. We would request
patience as the Borough reviews and responds to all outstanding requests
which predate the receipt of your request. The Borough will require at
least another 30 days to respond. If we are able to respond earlier, you
will be advised.
