Communications regarding proposed memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dear Maple Shade Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I certify under penalty of NJSA 2C:28-3 that I have not been convicted of an indictable offense. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
I am requesting all email communications and electronic files between the dates of 12-1-2014 and 12-31-2018 regarding the proposed memorial for Martin Luther King Jr. that council voted install in January of 2015 between all current and former city council members, current and former Mayors, current and former city managers as well as employees of Maple Shade. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/...
Yours faithfully,
Patrick Duff
Dear Teri Mcveigh,
I am not asking for any hard copies, just electronic copies of emails that are already on a medium that is readily accessible. No special service fee should apply to this request since I am not requesting copies or asking you to locate something not readily accessible.
A custodian must grant access to a government record by the method of delivery requested by the requestor (regular mail, fax, or e-mail). O’Shea v. Township of Fredon (Sussex), GRC Complaint No. 2007-251 (April 2008). OPRA was amended to allow the production of electronic records free of charge, except that a public agency may charge the actual cost of any needed supplies such as computer discs. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.b.
Please provide the records requested.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
Dear Teri Mcveigh,
I would like to amend my request to only include emails and email attachments sent from 1-1-15 through 4-1-15 for the same entities listed in the prior request. Will that work for you?
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
