Dear Town of Westfield,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under the OPRA and the common law right of access. I am a journalist with New Brunswick Today and Trenton Makes News, and require the records for my reporting on New Jersey's local governments, school districts, and autonomous authorities. 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.

Please provide a copy of your most recent contract with THA Consulting (144 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901), formerly known as Timothy Haahs & Associates. Please also provide all submissions, solicitations, letters of interest, proposals, or other documentation submitted while they were seeking the contract. Please also provide copies of all bills, invoices, or receipts from THA Consulting, and any reports or other publications they produced for you in the course of their work.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as an attachments.

Please confirm you have received this request, and feel free to contact me at 732-993-9697 if I can be helpful in clarifying this request. Thanks very much and have a nice day.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil
