Ms Kennedy,

Please see below for comments regarding how your request was fulfilled by this office; certain searches were modified to limit records produced to what would be meaningful for you. All responsive records are attached. There are numerous duplicates in the records produced because the various search-words you requested often appear in the same document - resulting in that document being produced multiple times.

Portions of your request have been denied in accordance with N J.S.A. 47:1A-1, and based on a public agency's responsibility and obligation to safeguard from public access a citizen's personal information with which it has been entrusted when disclosure thereof would violate the citizen's reasonable expectation of privacy. The portions of the email records to which access has been denied involve the redaction of telephone numbers for individuals who are not elected or appointed officials, as well as the personal email addresses for the same individuals. In the case of email addresses, only the personal identifier has been withheld, the domain information has remained intact. Each redaction is evident within the document as a solid black line, and in most cases the redacted content is labeled. When not labeled, the context makes it clear what was redacted. You have a right to challenge the decision by the City of Northfield to deny access. To do so, you may contact the GRC by phone at: 1-866-850-0511, by e-mail at [email address], or review the GRC web site at www.nj.gov/grc for information and to register your complaint.

Your request is complete.

Regards,

Mary

Subject: OPRA request - Request for Emails

Dear Northfield City,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

Records requested:

All emails to and from Councilwoman Barbara Anne Madden for the period 2/1/2021-3/10/2021, regarding any or all of the following:
1. State and federal gun laws,
[Mary Canesi] The search performed in this case was reduced to emails containing the word "gun"; this was done because it is assumed that emails regarding any other laws, or that contained the word federal or state, would not be meaningful for you, but would produce voluminous records. All records containing the word "gun" have been produced.
2. the Second Amendment,
[Mary Canesi] in this case, "2nd" Amendment was searched as well
3. "Sanctuary",
[Mary Canesi] searched as requested
4. the NRA,
[Mary Canesi] searched as requested
5. Northfield resident Sandy Hickerson,
[Mary Canesi] Please note Ms Hickerson is not a Northfield resident; also when "Sandy Hickerson" yielded minimal result, the search was reduced to just "Hickerson" - apparently she also goes by "Sandra"
6. GS2AGO and/or Garden State 2A Grassroots Organization,
[Mary Canesi] search reduced to "GS2AGO", "2A", and "Grassroots"
7. Giffords PAC,
[Mary Canesi] searched as requested
8. Gun Owners for Safety.
[Mary Canesi] refer to #1

Please provide the information in digital form as attachments to your response to this request, or as links to a set of results. I am not required to log in or create accounts on any website to retrieve this information.

Yours faithfully,

Shelly Kennedy
