Spending
Dear Lower 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:
Copies of ALL invoices for all fire extinguisher, kitchen fire suppression and fire alarm services from 2020 to present
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,
Tony Michael
Good afternoon Tony,
Due to the nature of your request, I respectfully ask you to narrow the scope of your request to a specific vendor(s), otherwise we will generate a report of all expenditures from 2020 to present. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.
Please also note, Julie Picard has retired. Her email will be monitored for a limited period of time, however, please send all future requests to [email address] so as not to get overlooked. The OPRA request form has been updated on the Township website form center, https://townshipoflower.org/forms.php.
Respectfully,
Karen Fournier, RMC
Lower Twp. Clerk
