Dear New Brunswick 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:
Copies of all current host community agreements with waste/recycling facilities like Colgate and Solterra, and records sufficient to show the amount of the most recent payments from each.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. Thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Zeledon,

I disagree with your assessment that my request "lacks the specificity of a proper OPRA request." I named two specific companies but only received records for one. What about Colgate Recycling? They are listed on sheet 4a of the municipal budget as providing revenue to the city government in the form of a "host community benefit" - is there a related agreement that provides the basis for this budget line item?

If so, please provide the requested agreement.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Zeledon,

What about Colgate? You only provided Solterra.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms. Zeledon,

Thank you. Do you have any agreement with Midco? That one is also included in the current city budget.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
