Records requested:
All agreements and contracts that the Township of Delran has and had with the Delran Emergency Squad from 1-1-2000 through 11-6-2018 as well as any memorandums of understanding for the same time period between the council, mayor or any other goverment body with the Delran Emergency Squad. I am also seeking any and all complaints the township received about the Delran EMS for the same time periods mentioned regarding Donald Horner.

Mr. Duff,
I am in receipt of your OPRA request. Can you please confirm that when
referencing complaints you are speaking about complaints filed with the
Police Department.
Thanks,

Dear Jamey Eggers,
Any complaints either the police, township council or mayors office. Specifically but not limited to Donald Horner.
Yours sincerely,

Mr. Duff,
As per your request, please see attached two complaints filed against
Donald Horner with the Delran Police Department. Be advised that the
Driver's License numbers have been redacted as they are exempt under
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1. There are currently no written agreements or
Memorandums of Understanding between the Township of Delran and the Delran
Emergency Squad within the date ranges requested. I also spoke with the
Township Administrator and there have been no complaints filed with the
Township against the Delran Emergency Squad or Donald Horner except the
two provided by the Police Department.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions at this time.
Sincerely,
Jamey Eggers

Dear Jamey Eggers,
Please send me any and all contracts and or memorandums of understanding between the dates of 1-1-1971 through 11-10-2018. There has to be some type of agreement between the EMS and the township.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
I will be out of the office from Monday, November 12th through Thursday,
November 15th. I will be back in the office on Friday, November 16th at
9:00 A.M. If you need immediate assistance, please contact the Township
Administrator's office at (856) 461-7734 ext. 113.
Mr. Duff,
Through a continued search I have not been able to locate any contracts or memorandums of understanding between the Township of Delran and the Delran EMS. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Jamey Eggers
Municipal Clerk
Township of Delran
Dear Jamey Eggers,
So are you saying that no written agreements or contracts that exist at all between the town and the EMS? I am trying to understand how they operate without a cotract?
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
Dear Jamey Eggers,
Do you have the current contracts that Delran has with the new EMS companies?
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
Mr. Duff,
We do not have executed contracts. At this time all I can provided is a copy of the adopted Resolution authorizing the emergency contract.
Thanks,
Jamey
Dear Jamey Eggers,
How were you paying the former EMS that Horner was the head of? Please send me documents such as Bills, Invoices and copies of checks paid to the Delran EMS for the entire year of 2018. I find it hard to believe you have no written agreement with the former EMS. Were they operating on a handshake or was a resolution passed that set the payment amount as well as the terms?
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Duff
Mr. Duff,
We were not paying the Delran EMS for their services. Both myself and the Township Administrator have tried to locate any prior agreement and have been unsuccessful.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Jamey Eggers
Municipal Clerk
Township of Delran
