The request was partially successful.

Dear Washington Township (Bergen),

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.

please note: after having reviewed the exchange between you and the other user, and for the sake of completeness and thoroughness, i am sending this as a follow up to obtain all other records in the category of communications, as emails alone may lack sufficient context. in an effort to avoid the redundancies and the duplication of efforts, i am endeavoring myself to word this request to exclude anything already covered by the request from the other user.

Records requested:

(subject matter) any communications, letters, memos, memorandum of understanding, contracts, agreements, documents (EXCLUDING EMAILS)
pertaining to the construction project described at the website accessed by https://www.twpofwashington.us/page/ems-...

that is sent by

(persons) any owner, shareholder, officer/official, person in a managerial or supervisory title, architect, engineer employed by Tekcon Construction, Robbie Conley Architect , Boswell Engineering, Azzolina Engineering, or any other person or entity listed in the "EMS Building Spending History" column on the https://www.twpofwashington.us/page/ems-... website

in the time frame of June 2018 until present

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.

Yours faithfully,

WCardinales

Hello Sue:

My response to your Oct 3, 2024/OR536 letter will resemble what the other user previously replied to you with, which, again, i am able to see the threads between you and other users on this web service.

i too am unsure at this point how else to clarify my request, because I was do not know the names of each person involved, or what exactly they did.

the best rephrase of my request i can offer in the interim is the below:
“any letter, letters attached to records, memo, text message, notice, Instant Messaging or Chat Logs, Faxes, Internal Memos or Bulletins, Social Media Direct Messages, Handwritten Notes , WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE STRICTLY SENT BY EMAIL, written by any owner, shareholder, officer/official, person in a managerial or supervisory title or person with authority, architect, engineer employed by Tekcon Construction, Robbie Conley Architect , Boswell Engineering, Azzolina Engineering, or any other person or entity listed in the "EMS Building Spending History" column on the https://www.twpofwashington.us/page/ems-... website, from June 2018 until the present time.”

again, the purpose of my request is to expand on the one posted by the other user, as after reading through the other user’s request, i felt as though simply reviewing emails would not provide a complete understanding of the building’s construction.

again, I'm sorry but the above is also the best i can provide in the meantime.

Yours sincerely,

Willie Cardinales

Dear Susan Witkowski,

thank you for the response.

as i am a researcher and not someone who stands to profit, i cannot justify to myself to pay the fees you requested at this time.

otherwise, your letters seem to suggest that some records from the above list was provided or attached already but do not see them.

Yours sincerely,

Willie Cardinales

Mr. Cardinales,
Thank you for response as well and I will attach to your request.
I had sent you two emails with attachments, no records were provided with the first email and the second email I had attached the OPRA exemptions.

Mr. Cardinales,
There were no records attached, as I sent the letter regarding the special service charges due to the voluminous amount, my apologies for the misunderstanding.

Dear Susan Witkowski,

thank you for clarifying. based on our exchanges, i am concluding as follows:

because it is not feasible for me to pay a fee at this time, the records that require the fee won't be provided.

you also requested an extension for other items in the list, which i have no objections to. those records will be provided on/before the new deadline.

Yours sincerely,

Willie Cardinales
