For ease of reference the Township has broken your request into four parts:
1. Emails, texts, or any communications through official means available between Mayor Clayton, and former EMS employee Kiliko Lowe regarding EMS services.

3. Emails, texts, or any communications through official means available between Kiliko Lowe & Tim Sidley.
4. Employment and termination date for former EMS members: Kiliko Lowe & Timothy Sidley.
With respect to Item No. 2, please find the Wall Township Employee handbook attached.
With respect to Item 4:
Kiliko Lowe Date of Hire: 06/09/2022 Date of Resignation: 11/11/2025
Timothy Sidley Date of Hire: 06/13/2013 Date of Resignation: 12/31/2017
With respect to Item No. 1 and Item No. 3, the Township is seeking clarification to conduct an email and/or text message search; we will require the following:
• To and/or from
• Date range
• Subject/keyword search
Emails with the domain of @townshipofwall.com or @wallnj.gov are maintained by the Township. Emails sent to/from outside domains will be picked up if they have copied/sent to an email address with the township domain.
In addition, key word searches are extremely sensitive. For example, abbreviations like, “MV” for Motor Vehicle would pick up all emails that reference the letters “M” and “V” in sequence, producing thousands of results. Similarly, using employee titles like “Clerk” or “Collector” would likely produce all emails sent from those departments as they are a part of their signatures
Upon receipt of this information, we will begin our search for those responsive records. The more detailed the information provided will aid the search and quality of results. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq the Township is provided seven business days to respond upon receipt of clarification. If the Township does not receive your clarification by December 1, 2025, we will consider the request closed.
