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 AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Pursuant to the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), I am requesting an electronic copy of the municipality's current master list or database of active business licenses and permits.

Please include the following data fields if available: Business Name, Owner/Principal, Physical Address, Email Address, Phone Number, License Type, Issue/Expiration Dates, and Status.

I request these records be provided in their original electronic format (CSV or Excel). If the town does not maintain a single master list, please provide the most recent annual registration ledgers

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,

Ira Thor
