This is a request under the Open Public Records Act ("OPRA”). I am requesting:

The salaries of all Union City employees for fiscal year 2019, including full name, age, department, job title or position, base pay, base time, overtime hours, overtime pay, bonuses, and total compensation. I request the information in machine-readable format, such as excel.

I am a journalist and ask that any fees be waived as this request is in the public interest and the requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge. This request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email or by cell phone at 908-347-0402. If the request is denied, please provide a written explanation for the denial, including a reference to the statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely. Also, please provide all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Best,
Benjamin
