Dear Bradley Beach Borough,
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 6(f), which states that an email from a requester 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. All grant agreements, contracts, applications, award letters, scopes of work, or memoranda of understanding related to the $1.4 million in federal funding allocated for Main Street maintenance and accessibility improvements, including any documents describing required municipal responsibilities for maintenance, snow removal, sidewalk upkeep, or ADA-related features.
2. All documents, correspondence, or communications between the Borough and any federal or state agency regarding maintenance obligations tied to this funding, including but not limited to snow removal, sidewalk or paver maintenance, and long-term upkeep of improvements within the Main Street business district.
3. Any Borough ordinances, policies, resolutions, or internal guidance that define or allocate responsibility for snow removal, sidewalk maintenance, or paver replacement within the Main Street business district, especially where federal funds have been used for improvements.
4. Any notices, directives, or internal communications regarding enforcement actions for snow removal or paver replacement in the business district following the acceptance of federal funding.
5. Any engineering plans, project descriptions, or maintenance plans identifying which portions of Main Street were improved or are required to be maintained by the Borough as a condition of receiving federal funds.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by email 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.
