Fulfilled Reasons:

Portions of your request are overbroad under OPRA. Specifically, the use
of terms such as “any and all records” and “all documents” are invalid
because such language requires interpretation by the custodian to
determine what records might be responsive. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1; MAG
Entm’t, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534,
546, 549 (App. Div. 2005) (a valid OPRA request must “identify with . . .
specificity or particularity the government records sought”); Shipyard
Assoc.’s v. City of Hoboken, 2015 WL 10352982, *5 (App. Div. Sept. 15,
2015) (finding the use of “any and all” and “not limited to” improper
under OPRA); see also Elcavage v. W. Milford Twp., GRC Complaint No.
2006-64 (May 2008) (“Because OPRA does not require custodians to research
files to discern which records may be responsive to a request, the
Custodian had no legal duty to conduct research to locate records
potentially responsive to the Complainant’s request.”).
However, the Township has conducted a search for the records you
specifically identified in your request. Those records are attached. This
request is deemed answered and closed.
The records are being transmitted to you via . Pursuant to N.J.S.A.
