Planning Board Master Plan Summary 2024

Joseph Jonas made this OPRA request to Island Heights Borough Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was refused by Island Heights Borough.

Dear Island Heights 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-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:

Any and all records/documents summarizing the planning board's actions for 2024 from attorney Terry F. Brady, Esq. This includes the end of the year summary, and/or any emails to and from the attorney to the town council. This does not fall under attorney/client privilege as he is not the attorney for the township, only the planning board.

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,

Again, very concerned.

Borough Clerk, Island Heights Borough

Your request for government records has been received.
Under the OPRA statute and governing rules, requests such as "any and all"
are not appropriate and cannot generally be fulfilled.  The statute
provides access to specific documents and records requested by qualified
requestors.   Determinations as to attorney/client privilege or other
restrictions on the release of particular documents or records are made by
the custodian of records and/or counsel for the organization, not by the
requestor.
Thank you for your cooperation.
