Dear Ocean County Clerk,
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:
Kindly provide me with the following public records regarding new Ocean County Employee Ashley Lamb: her employment contract(s), Mrs. Lambs job title(s) and the job description associated with such title, Mrs. Lambs salary, her job application and resume/curriculum vitae, date(s) of interview(s), names of interviewers, and the job posting published internally and/or externally for the job which she was hired for.
Thank you,
