Dear Charlie Kratovil:

The Civil Service Commission received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on June 23, 2026. This response to your request is being provided to you today.

You made the following request:

Requested Information: "Please provide copies of the complete package of documents/records given to Civil Service Commission (CSC) regarding the dissolution of the Jersey City Parking Authority (JCPA), for which the CSC granted civil service status to JCPA employees in August 2015, as the City moved to absorb them into the local government and dissolve JCPA.

Please also include a copy of the decision/resolution granting the JCPA employees status.

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."

The following response is being provided to you today. Attached please find the original submission by The Jersey City Parking Authority and the decision by the Civil Service Commission dated August 1, 2014.

Please be advised that certain personnel information has been redacted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10, N.J.A.C. 4A:1-2.2, and N.J.A.C. 4A:4-2.16. Additionally, certain personal identifying information has been redacted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1.

The Open Public Records Act permits a person who believes he or she has been improperly denied access to a government record to file a complaint with the Government Records Council or to file an action in Superior Court to challenge the decision and compel disclosure. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6. You will find attached to this email the document that describes the procedures for taking these actions.

This response does not waive or limit any other rights afforded the Commission under OPRA and the common law, which are all expressly reserved.

Your OPRA request is now hereby deemed closed. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

Very truly yours,

Civil Service Commission
Office of OPRA

Subject: [EXTERNAL] OPRA request - Documents Regarding Jersey City Parking Authority

Dear Civil Service Commission,

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 Civil Service Commission (CSC) regarding the dissolution of the Jersey City Parking Authority (JCPA), for which the CSC granted civil service status to JCPA employees in August 2015, as the City moved to absorb them into the local government and dissolve JCPA.

Please also include a copy of the decision/resolution granting the JCPA employees status.

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
