Township of Toms River Best Practices Inventory
Dear New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local Government Services,
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:
Please provide me with the 2023 and 2024 "Best Practices Inventory" submitted by the Township of Toms River. Please include the electronic signature page of the inventory as to determine the officials that certified the inventories accuracy and the date(s) they were submitted. Additionally please provide any audits/reviews/reports done by the DLGs of the Inventories submitted by the Township of Toms River. Thank you very much in advance for your time and attention to my request.
Yours faithfully,
J Witten
