Good Afternoon,
In response to your OPRA request, I have attached the signed contract with
Atlantic Ambulance.   Minutes will be provided upon a thorough search, but
no later than Monday, August 8, 2022..
Please be advised that under OPRA, a request for correspondence requires
the requestor to provide the name and/or position of the sender and/or
recipient, in addition to the subject and date or date range.  This is so
a public entity can effectively conduct a search. Kindly provide the
name/position of the sender(s) and or recipients.  You must be more
specific than  “the Township” or “Township employees” in your reply.

In addition, your request for "all dispatch SOPs, and plans to control
assignment of emergency medical services to Andover Township residents" is
currently being reviewed, and any records that may be deemed public will
be released no later than Monday, August 8, 2022.

Thank you,

Dear Patricia Bussow,

I believe the primary file may not have been attached to the previous request. The "Dispatch Policy" was attached but the file [1][IMG][2] OPRA - EMS Final.pdf was not attached. Can you please confirm?

Yours sincerely,

Concerned resident

Patricia Bussow, Andover Township

It is showing as attached on my end.  Are you using a Google account?  The
file is over 100 pages and will attach as a file in Google drive.  If not
I will have to scan it again as 2 or 3 separate files.
Please advise.
