Dear Belmar Board of Education,

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:
I am requesting the following records for the time period of May1, 2024 to July 31, 2025:

A list of all law firms and attorneys who were paid by the district or Board of Education during this time, including for general legal services, special education, hearings, investigations, or litigation.
Copies of all legal invoices or billing records from those firms and attorneys for that same period. Please include, for each invoice:

1. Name of the law firm
2. Name of each attorney or staff person who billed time
3. Date of each invoice
4. A general description of services (if available)
5. Hours billed
6. Hourly rate
7.Total amount billed and/or paid

If any parts of the invoices are redacted, I still request the above non-confidential information as required by OPRA. If anything is withheld, please provide a privilege log explaining the reason.
Thanks. Taxpayer

Dear Belmar Board of Education,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Belmar Board of Education's handling of my OPRA request 'Outside Law Firms and Legal Billing Records (1-Year Scope)'.
This request is beyond the deadline set by the district.

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/outside_...
