Dear Middlesex County,
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:

Thank You.
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.

The Office of Aging & Disabled Services has received your request for:
Historic Summary List of Letters of Agreement/Contracts between Middlesex
County and service agency providers, care management and support services
for seniors and the disabled from 2005 to present. (social and adult day
care, respite, assised living, transportation, home health, housing,
alzheimers and memory care, etc).
Dear S Soloway:
I write in response to your public records request seeking a “Historic
Summary List of Letters of Agreement/Contracts between Middlesex County
and service agency providers, care management and support services for
seniors and the disabled from 2005 to present. (social and adult day care,
respite, assised living, transportation, home health, housing, alzheimers
and memory care, etc).”
Under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1, et seq., requestors must identify specific
documents being sought and does not require records custodians to
interpret overly broad requests to search for "every document" or "all
documents.” See Bent v. Township of Stafford Police Dept., Custodian of
Records, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37, 39 (App. Div. 2005).
It is the requestor's obligation to specifically describe the documents
that are being sought. The request may not be a broad, generic description
of documents as the custodian is not required to speculate about what the
requestor seeks and is not required to survey agency employees regarding
the request. Bart v. Passaic County. Pub. Hous. Agency, 406 N.J. Super.
445, 451-52 (App. Div. 2009). Your request seeks twenty years of
agreements with specific types of care providers. However, the County’s
records are not organized in such a manner and accordingly your request
would require the custodian to review every single contract over that time
frame to determine if it involves one of the car providers identified in
your request.
Such research is not a permissible request under OPRA. If however you can
provide for more specific information, such as identifying a specific
agreement or a specific vendor, we can search for those records
accordingly.
Thank you, Laila Caune
