Re: OPRA 52-56 Westfield Ave.
Date: June 14, 2023
The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
on June 13, 2023. The official Records Custodian, Edith Merkel, received
your OPRA request on June 13, 2023. As such, the seven (7) business day
deadline to respond to your request is June 23, 2023. This 2nd response
to your request, from the Planning Board secretary, is being provided to
you on the first business day after the custodian’s receipt of said
request.
Additional Planning Board and Construction Department responses, once
received, will be sent in multiple emails to provide all the documents
requested. I will indicate when the final email is sent.
Your OPRA request (below) sought access to the documents indicated.
Planning Board records for 52-56 Westfield Ave. are attached. Emails, once
received from the Planning Board secretary will be forwarded to you.
The following legal basis applies to responses that include redactions. “A
government record shall not include the following information which is
deemed to be confidential for the purposes of P.L.1963, c. 73 (C.47:1A-1
et seq.) as amended and supplemented: that portion of any document which
discloses the social security number, credit card number, unlisted
telephone number or driver license number of any person…”
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Township of Clark to deny access.
At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior
Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records
Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may
contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O.
Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [2][email address], or at
their web site at [3]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other
questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in
Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
