Dear Englishtown 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-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:

Surveillance video from all cameras on the front of Englishtown Borough Hall from Saturday, January 24, 2026 between the hours of 1:30 pm and 2:15 pm

BWC footage from both Officers Nichols & DiNicola from the report of harassment by Councilman John Alite targeting Bill Sabin on Saturday, January 24, 2026 (PD Case# 26ET00386).

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,

Kim Sabin

Dear Englishtown Borough,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Englishtown Borough's handling of my OPRA request 'Surveillance video and BWC associated with incident with John Alite on Saturday, 1/24/26'.

I am writing regarding my Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests submitted to the Police Department on January 24, 2026 (filed in person on the OPRA request form) and again on January 26, 2026 (filed via OPRAmachine).

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i), a public agency must grant or deny access to requested records within seven business days of receipt of a request, unless a lawful extension is provided in writing within that timeframe.

As of today, I have not received any written response, acknowledgment, extension, grant, or denial regarding either submission. The statutory response period has therefore expired. Under the Open Public Records Act, the failure to respond within the required timeframe constitutes a deemed denial of access.

On February 16, 2026, I followed up in person at the Police Department and Patrolman Nichols advised that he would let the records custodian know I was inquiring. While I appreciated that you stopped at my house that evening and noted you were waiting on approvals of the report in the Spillman system, no formal response or records have since been provided.

This letter serves as formal notice of deemed denial. I respectfully request immediate compliance with my OPRA requests and production of the responsive records without further delay. If any portion of the request is being denied, please provide a written response specifying the legal basis for each denial as required by statute.

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/surveill...

If I do not receive a written response within three business days of this notice, I will pursue any remedies available under OPRA, including filing a denial of access complaint.

I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.

Yours faithfully,

Kim Sabin
