Dear Donna Jackson,
There is some confusion about this OPRA request. It is conflated with my original request for village attorney bills covering the period of 1-1-19, through 10-31-19. That request is closed, and I am fine with that. On this OPRA chain the request was for email records between Knudsen and Hache, and I am still waiting for a reply on that.
Yours sincerely,
Hans-Jurgen Lehmann
Hans,
Please be advised there are no document to provide regarding the OPRA
Request for communications between Mayor Hache and Deputy Mayor Knudsen
regarding the Ridgewood Community Foundation from 1/1/19 through 11/30/19.
At this time, we will consider this request closed and our obligation
satisfied.

Dear Donna Jackson,
I must disagree. There are any number of emails involving both Hache and Knudsen in the committee for the 125th anniversary celebration as well as emails involving the Ridgewood Community Foundation. If you could send me those, I would appreciate it.
Yours sincerely,
Hans-Jurgen Lehmann
