Dear North Brunswick Township,

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.

>
> I prefer delivery by email or via the Township's OPRA portal. If fulfillment of this request will exceed the statutory special-service-charge threshold, please notify me in writing with an itemized cost estimate before incurring any charge, per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(c).
