Documents Regarding Abolishing Jersey City Parking Authority
Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local Government Services
Dear 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-5(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 copies of the complete package of documents/records given to Local Finance Board (LFB) regarding the dissolution of the Jersey City Parking Authority (JCPA), which was approved at the April 9, 2014 LFB meeting, as well as the approved LFB resolution allowing for the dissolution of JCPA.
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,
Charlie Kratovil

Hello,
This is in response to your ORA request.
As this request did not come through the online form via OPRA Central, it was marked as quarantined and the Division of Local Government Services did not see the request. Accordingly, the DLGS OPRA custodian was only made aware of your request when you asked why there was no response. The OPRA Central request form can be found here: https://www-njlib.nj.gov/NJ_OPRA/departm...
Staff is now attempting to gather any responsive records to your request.
