Dear Plumsted 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-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:

I am requesting a copy of Kara Vogel's resignation letter, if such a letter exists, as part of any public records maintained by [Insert Name of Public Agency]. If there is any additional documentation or correspondence related to the resignation of Kara Vogel, please provide those records as well.

New Jersey courts have repeatedly held that resignation letters are public records subject to disclosure under OPRA.

In "Gannett New Jersey v. County of Middlesex," 379 N.J. Super. 205 (App. Div. 2005), the court clarified that resignation letters, even if part of a personnel file, are not automatically exempt from OPRA. In this case, the court ruled that the public interest in knowing the circumstances surrounding a resignation outweighs the potential privacy concerns.

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,

George Miller
