Mrs. Zumbana,
The gazebo was used on June 7, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. That request seems to be missing from the information provided. I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward that information to me.
Yours sincerely,
Jean Briggs
Good Morning,
All records responsive to your OPRA request were provided in my previous
