Grants 2024
Dear Summit City,
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 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:
I would like a copy of all grant applications and monies received for summit for 2024
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,
William Bailey
Dear Summit City,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Summit City's handling of my OPRA request 'Grants 2024'.
I just spoke with Nicole, she said my 1 request was in the junk folder and you responded to that one but my older public records requests from the 13th have gone ignored. One was immediate access and I have not received an acknowledgement.
A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/grants_2...
Yours faithfully,
William Bailey

A message was sent to you regarding record request
#25-319:
Dear William Bailey:
I am writing in response to your request pursuant to
the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”). You requested
the following:
I would like a copy of all grant applications and
monies received for summit for 2024
Your request is invalid under OPRA. Specifically, you
have failed to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific records sought with your request. New Jersey
courts have consistently held that “OPRA does not
countenance open-ended searches of an agency’s
files.” See MAG Entm’t, LLC v. Div. of ABC, 275 N.J.
Super. 534, 549 (App. Div. 2005).Consequently, a
proper request under OPRA must identify with
reasonable clarity those documents that are desired,
and a party cannot satisfy this requirement by simply
requesting all of an agency’s documents. See Bent v.
Twp. of Stafford Police Dep’t, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37
(App. Div. 2005).
If you can please clarify your request by advising if
you would like all grant applications that were
submitted in 2024 or if you want all grant
applications for the year 2024.
Additionally, if you can please specify the documents
you wish to see regarding your request for “monies
received”.
Accordingly, please clarify the remainder of your
request to identify the specific records you are
seeking so that the City may conduct a search. Please
provide the requested clarification by the close of
business on September 9, 2025. Upon receipt of your
clarification, the City will advise you in writing of
the anticipated response time. If a clarification is
not received, your OPRA request will be deemed
answered and closed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Licatese, City Clerk

Dear [email address],
My request is 100% valid under opra. I requested grant applications which are government records as well as receipts of any monies received, for a specific time period. See wronko vs jackson two
Yours sincerely,
