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:

All organizational budgets from the last 5 years for Collingswood Partners and Collingswood Foundation for the Arts.

Dear [email address],

On Monday night at the Commissioners meeting, both Mayor Solano Ward and Commissioner Maley indicated that the response here was an error.

They both indicated that the Collingswood Foundation of the Arts was in fact part of the Borough.

Please provide the outstanding budgets for the Foundation for the Arts immediately. This request is 3 months overdue.

Yours sincerely,

Megan DeSmedt
