Dear Town of Boonton,
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-5(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:

Dear Elizabeth Bonsiewich (Municipal Clerk),
Thank you for the 7/10/26 meeting information, but I would kindly ask you to please search again for the recording of the 8/29/25 meeting as there must be some kind of mix up.
I'm quite sure you have a recording of it, as I was logged on to view this specific meeting, and at the beginning of the meeting an announcement was played that stated "recording in progress"....
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Jones
