Mayor Muller Running Mt. Laurel Through Personal Devices?
Dear Mount Laurel 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:
1) Copies of phone call logs, including on personal devices, between employee Meredith Riculfy and Michael Muller (609-332-8503) for the time period of January 1, 2025 through the present. Please direct Meredith Riculfy to certify that she searched her personal devices, as required by Vele vs. Borough of Englewood Cliffs, App. Div. Docket No. A-3905-2. Note that iOS and Android both maintain logs of telephone calls, as do Verizon and other telecommunications service providers, such that the respondent may not claim that such logs do not exist.
2) Copies of phone call logs, including on personal devices, between employee Ashlyn Grisetti and Michael Muller (609-332-8503) for the time period of January 1, 2025 through the present. Please direct Ashlyn Grisetti to certify that she searched her personal devices, as required by Vele vs. Borough of Englewood Cliffs, App. Div. Docket No. A-3905-2. Note that iOS and Android both maintain logs of telephone calls, as do Verizon and other telecommunications service providers, such that the respondent may not claim that such logs do not exist.
3) Copies of Signal call logs, Telegram call logs, WhatsApp call logs, Google Meet call logs, FaceTime call logs, Teams call logs, Facebook call logs, Discord call logs, Threema call logs, and Skype call logs, including on personal devices, between employee Meredith Riculfy and Michael Muller (609-332-8503) for the time period of January 1, 2025 through the present.

Do not respond to the above requests collectively - provide a separate response to each of the requests.
As required under Rosetti vs. Ramapo-Indian Hills Regional High School Board of Education, 481 N.J Super. 1 (App. Div. 2025), the records searched must include private devices and accounts. In light of Vele vs. Borough of Englewood Cliffs, App. Div. Docket No. A-3905-23, private devices discussing public business are government records under OPRA and are disclosable. Additionally, pursuant to Elvage vs. West Milford Twp., GRC Complaint No. 2009-07 (April 2010), there is no requirement that "subject of the email" be provided, as a search for "content" may be utilized in place of subject.
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,
Transparency for ML
