Good afternoon,
This OPRA request was received on Monday, June 2, 2025. It will be
reviewed and processed. A response will be sent within seven (7) business
days after the City's custodian of records receives the request not
counting day of receipt.
You requested the following:
Please note that a proper OPRA request must identify with reasonable
clarity the records desired. OPRA submissions which request all of an
agency's documents, seek information (and not records), or ask questions
are not proper requests. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.
Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). In addition, record custodians are not
required to conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA
request. You will be notified if your OPRA request requires clarification
or is non-conforming.
Please feel free to contact our office should you have any additional
questions or concerns.
Regards,
