Please be advised that the City is in receipt of your request for “All
emails sent and received by the following people/email addresses from
2/1/20 to 10/1/20

[1][email address]. Thomas rinaldi

[2][email address]. Chris stabile

[3][email address].  David niland

However, your request is invalid as it fails to identify the content
and/or subject of the requested email messages.  To comply with OPRA, a
request must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are
desired. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37
(App. Div. 2005). In order to determine whether a request for an email
message complies with this requirement, the GRC set forth certain criteria
that must be established by the requestor.  To be a valid, the request
must contain: (1) the content and/or subject; (2) the specific date or
range of dates during which the email(s) were transmitted; and (3) the
identity of the sender and/or the recipient thereof. See Elcavage v. West
Milford Twp., GRC Complaint No. 2009-07 (April 2010).

Although your request includes a specific date range and a specific
sender, it does not provide the content and/or subject of the requested
email messages.  Please clarify your OPRA request by providing the content
and/or subject of the requested email messages.  Failure to provide
written clarification of your request will result in the closure of this
OPRA request.
