Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Pleasantville City should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Pleasantville 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-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:
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I am requesting the following government records maintained by the City of Pleasantville:
