Number of fines issued for violations of Ord. No. 1454 for having backyard chickens
Dear Collingswood Borough,
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-5(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:
I request the total number of fines issued for violations to Collingswood's Ord. No. 1454 for keeping backyard chickens since the ordinance was adopted in 2008. I also request the total dollar amount of those fines issued since 2008.
If data back to 2008 is not available, getting the above information for the last 5 years would also be helpful.
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,
Sarah Nicell
