Subject: [EXTERNAL] OPRA request - Dismissals and Violations Issued

 

Dear New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local
Government Services,

 

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.

 

Records requested:

 

Please provide me with copies of all notices, complaints and allied
statements issued by the  DCA (all divisions) involving the Township of
Toms River or any of its employees or elected officials from January 1st,
2022 to December 19th, 2025.  I am requesting this ONLY for such
complaints who have received a “Notice of Dismissal” or “Notice of
Violation” as permitted by N.J.A.C. 5:35-1.1(h) and N.J.A.C. 5:35-1.1(i). 
Please include the name of the DCA investigator/employee assigned to
handle each complaint, any judgements, written outcomes, or referrals to
law enforcement for the complaints. I would prefer these documents in
their native form OR as a PDF.

 

Please post your response to this website.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and attention to my request.

 

Sincerely,

 

J Witten
