A request for access to a government record must be in writing and

fulfill a request for access to government records under OPRA does not

to the wrong officer or employee may result in a delay of the fulfillment
of the request.  In the City of Rahway the City Clerk is the official
Records Custodian. 

Requestors must be as specific as possible when requesting records. A
valid request identifies a specific type of record, address, Block/Lot of
