Request for information regarding email usage and document retention
Dear Lindenwold 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:
1.) Any policy, directive, guidance, or written communication issued by the Borough of Lindenwold regarding the use of personal email accounts by elected officials or borough employees for the conduct of official borough business.
2.) Any records retention or preservation requirements applicable to official borough business conducted through personal email accounts, including but not limited to communications by members of the Borough Council.
If no such policy or guidance exists, please confirm that in writing rather than denying the request.
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,
Moonsrayven
