Dear Hudson County,

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:

1. The current health benefits plan(s) offered to employees in the position/title of Director, Department of Human Resources, County of Hudson.

2. The schedule of employer and employee contribution rates (percentage or dollar amount) for health insurance premiums applicable to that position/title for the current plan year.

3. Any publicly available document, resolution, ordinance, or collective negotiations agreement provision establishing the health benefit contribution formula for department directors/division heads employed by Hudson County.

4. To the extent maintained as a payroll record subject to disclosure under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10, the total annual cost (employer share) paid by Hudson County for health benefits associated with the position of Director, Department of Human Resources.

I am not requesting personnel or medical file records, individual enrollment forms, or any HIPAA-protected data, which I understand are exempt under OPRA and the Chapter 92 amendments.

Please provide these records electronically if possible. If any portion of this request is denied, please cite the specific statutory exemption relied upon, per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.

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,

Medardo
