Dear Englishtown 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:

Please provide electronic copies of the following government records relating to the “Shine for Autism” event held on August 9, 2026 at Stanford Park, 47 Main Street, Englishtown, New Jersey:

All invoices, bills, vouchers, purchase orders, receipts, reimbursement requests, and payment records for goods or services purchased or paid for by the Borough of Englishtown in connection with the event.

All contracts, vendor agreements, proposals, estimates, quotes, or similar records for goods or services obtained by the Borough in connection with the event.

Records reflecting Borough expenditures associated with the event, including, where applicable, expenditures for entertainment, performers, vendors, food or refreshments, equipment, rentals, tents, tables, advertising, promotional materials, security, public works services, supplies, insurance, or other event-related goods or services.

Records reflecting donations, sponsorships, grants, reimbursements, vendor contributions, or other funds or financial support received by the Borough specifically in connection with the event.

Any resolution or other Borough record authorizing or approving expenditures specifically associated with the event.

Electronic copies are requested where available.

If no responsive records exist for any individual category above, please identify that category as having no responsive records.

If any responsive record contains information that the Borough contends is exempt from disclosure, please provide all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions and identify the specific legal basis for each redaction or withholding.

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.
