Dear New Brunswick City,

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:
1) crash reports for each of the following crashes involving Fire Director Robert C Rawls (if the crash indeed involved a city vehicle):
6/27/07

6/4/12
10/25/12
6/9/13
3/26/14

2) records of all damage incurred to city vehicles incurred as a result of each of the above crashes, as well as the following additional crashes:
11/9/22
11/6/23
1/9/24

3) records sufficient to show the costs of all repairs to city vehicles as a result of all of the aforementioned crashes (if any city vehicles were "totaled," please indicate the loss amount)

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,

Charlie Kratovil
