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:

Under OPRA/FOIA/Public Records laws, I am requesting the following documents:

Mr. Johnson,

 

OPRA allows public agencies to impose special service charges whenever the
nature, format, manner of collation, or volume of a government record
embodied in the form of printed matter to be inspected, examined, or
copied pursuant to this section is such that the record cannot be
reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business
size or when fulfilling a request requires an extraordinary expenditure of
time and effort. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c; see also, Thorpe v. Kleinman 2024
WL 4647806.  Special service charges must be based upon the actual direct
cost of providing the copy or copies.

 

OPRA mandates that the requestor shall have the opportunity to review and
object to the charge prior to it being incurred.  See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c.
As such, a detailed estimate is provided below:

 

I’m estimating there will be approximately 12 hours of work required to
review and redact the CAD reports which comprise of 103 individual entries
with approximately 400 pages. We require a retainer fee up front that is
double the estimated cost prior to beginning any work.

 

If you would like to proceed, I require the check be made out to “Borough
of Alpine” for $1920.72 (double the estimated cost).   You will be
provided a detailed invoice for the hours expended and you will be
refunded any unused funds. You may also be asked to provide more money
prior to releasing if the man hours are more than expected due to
unforeseen circumstances.  Please be further advised that should you seek
more limited records we will adjust the estimated costs accordingly which
may avoid a special service charge if the time to review and redact does
not require an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort to accommodate
the request. However, any subsequent change in the scope of records will
restart the time frame in which the Borough is obligated to respond.

 

Respectfully,

 

Sergeant Arthur White
