Please be advised, we are still working to attempt to locate records responsive to your request. As such, an extension of time until 9/20/24 is required.
Also, we realized that we failed to provide the reasons for the redaction we made to phone numbers for the records provided in our previous response.
Personal Phone Numbers have been redacted due to privacy concerns. In Merino v. Ho-Ho-Kus, GRC Complaint 2003-121 (Feb. 18, 2004), the Council addressed the citizen's reasonable expectation of privacy pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 and found that the New Jersey Supreme Court, Appellate Division held that the GRC must enforce OPRA's declaration, in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, that "a public agency has a responsibility and an obligation to safeguard from public access a citizen's personal information with which it has been entrusted when disclosure thereof would violate the citizen's reasonable expectation of privacy." Serrano v. South Brunswick Twp., 358 N.J. Super. 352, 368-69 (App. Div. 2003). See also National Archives and Records Administration v. Favish, 541 U.S. 157, 124 S.Ct. 1570 (U.S. March 30, 2004) (personal privacy interests are protected under FOIA).
