Dear Washington Township (Bergen),

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:

Personnel files, payroll records, and personnel records (other than what is prohibited under OPRA) of municipal employees, officials, staff, personnel, volunteers, independent contractors, interns, externs, associates, and affiliates between January 2013 and January 2024.

roster of all municipal employees, officials, staff, personnel, volunteers, independent contractors, interns, externs, associates, and affiliates including name, badge/PIN/ID number, rank/title, status, etc., demographic information about the gender and race/ethnicity, Salary history, performance reviews or information, benefits information such as leave balances and usage dates, date of hire of each person if available for each person between January 2013 and January 2024.

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,

Mr. Cardinales,
I am attaching communications/responses regarding your OPRA 535 for Municipal Personnel, volunteers and contractors.
Please refer to the attached documents, three separate letters dated October 9, 2024 from myself addressing this request, OR 535-Part 1 of 2; OR 535-Part 2 of 2 and OR 535 (special service charges), and further communication.
The only records responsive to your request were those which required a Special Service Charge (my letter of October 9), please refer to your email of October 10, 2024.
As for the extension of time, I do believe there was a cross of email addresses with OR 536 for communications (excluding emails) from construction persons, which was supplied and completed on October 15 & 16 which I provided you with a map.
My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
