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:
Emails and text messages to and from John Leggio‘s personal and Township devices to Renzo Kolenovic from 1/1/25 to present regarding Jersey Coast emergency news Facebook page
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,
Pamela Richmond

Good afternoon,
There are no responsive records with regard to OPRA request 25-0987.
There were no responsive records found on the Mayor’s email address. As to the request for records of communications to Renzo Kolenovic via the Mayor’s personal email or phone regarding Jersey Coast Emergency News Facebook Page, there is no indication that any such communication would relate to the Mayor’s capacity as an official of the Township. If any communication existed, he was speaking in a private channel of discussion with a private citizen regarding a non-public Facebook page. OPRA does not require a review of a public official’s private records absent an indication that the records are in the nature of government records.
This OPRA request is complete.
Thank you.
