Mr. Martz,
This is in response to your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request, received by this office on October 28, 2025, seeking closed session minutes.
Enclosed please find copies of the Township Committee closed session minutes for 2021 through and including 2024 that are responsive to your request. This response is being provided on the fifth business day following receipt of your request, within the time frame required by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i).
Please be advised that certain portions of the minutes have been redacted, which appear as blocked-out sections over the body of the text. These redactions reflect executive session discussions that remain privileged and/or concern matters that have not yet been fully resolved, and are therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to OPRA and the Open Public Meetings Act, including but not limited to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 and N.J.S.A. 10:4-12(b).
If you disagree with the redactions, you have the right to challenge this response by either filing a Denial of Access Complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC), or instituting a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey.
Information on how to file with the GRC is available at www.nj.gov/grc or by calling (866) 850-0511.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this response.
Sincerely,
