Dear To Whom This May Concern,

This is a request for public records made under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) and the common law right of access. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

Records Requested:

A digital copy of the most recently approved memorandum of ALL collective bargaining units with which the township, city, borough, etc., currently holds active agreements.

Please include the most recent contract booklet (signed or unsigned), the most recent memorandum of agreement, salary guides, and any sidebar agreements, if applicable.

Thank you for your attention to this request.

Yours faithfully,
The Curious Taxpayer

Dear Kelly Lettera,

"This request seeks information or asks questions and does not identify specific government records. As such, your request is an invalid OPRA request and is denied."

Where am I asking a question? When is collective bargaining agreements not government records?

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.

I will rephrase my request as "Active collective bargaining unit agreements with Little Egg Harbor Township."

"Custodians are not required to conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA request."

As an OPRA Custodian, you are not "creating" these agreements, they already exist.

"Please provide me with the specific collective bargaining documents you are requesting and a time frame for those documents."

Like I said in my original request "active" collective bargaining agreements, meaning current ones that are not expired.

"Attached is the official LEHT OPRA form. Please fill out the form and resubmit it back to me directly at this email address."

I am not required by-law to fill out any official forms.

Unions: G.W.U./P.B.A./IUJAT (blue collar)/Little Egg Harbor Employee Association

Thank you!

Yours sincerely,
