To: ASK NJ Media Co.
I am in receipt of your Open Public Records Request dated Monday, May 20,
2019 for the following records. My response is in bold below.
Please provide in PDF form.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S. C. 12131) a
public entity shall designate at least one employee to coordinate its
efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under the Act.
Please provide the name, office address, and telephone number of the
employee that has been designated by your municipality under this
requirement.
In addition, a public entity shall adopt and publish grievance procedures
providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any
action that would be prohibited by the Act.
The Borough of Spring Lake Heights does not have any records responsive to
this request.
Please be advised that N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6 provides that a person who is
denied access to a government record by the custodian of the record, at
the option of the requestor, may institute a proceeding to challenge the
custodian's decision by filing an action in Superior Court which shall be
heard in the vicinage where it is filed by a Superior Court Judge who has
been designated to hear such cases because of that judge's knowledge and
expertise in matters relating to access to government records; or in lieu
of filing an action in Superior Court, file a complaint with the
Government Records Council established pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-7.
The right to institute any proceeding shall be solely that of the
requestor. Any such proceeding shall proceed in a summary or expedited
manner. The public agency shall have the burden of proving that the denial
of access is authorized by law. If it is determined that access has been
improperly denied, the court or agency head shall order that access be
allowed. A requestor who prevails in any proceeding shall be entitled to a
reasonable attorney's fee.
Very truly yours,
Janine Gillis
