Dear Howell Township,

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:

All the names of government/municipal employees in the township of Howell using a municipal-issued vehicle in 2025.

All municipal issued vehicles in Howell in the year of 2025

What are the restrictions for municipal employees on using these vehicles?

How many municipal-issued vehicles are there in Howell as of 2025?

The vehicle make and price of every municipal-issued vehicle in the past three years.

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,
Patricia Mendoza

Good morning,

Please be advised that your OPRA request has been refused as you have not requested specific documents. OPRA is to be used to request specific documents not to answer questions. A custodian is not required to research files to figure out which records, if any, might be responsive to a broad and unclear OPRA request. See Donato v. Township of Union.

Please re-apply to [Howell Township request email] and be sure to advise of the specific documents when re-submitting your request.

When your updated form is received, I will be able to process your request.

Thank you.

Jill Abernathy
Office of the Municipal Clerk
Township of Howell
4567 Route 9 North, 2nd Floor
