Good morning,

This is the Borough's official response to your recent OPRA request.

Due to the nature and complexity of the above-referenced request and pursuant to Borough Code, Chapter II, Administration, Paragraph 2-71.2(c). Special Services Cost. If the inspection and/or photocopying of public records requires more than thirty (30) minutes per day of a municipal employee's time, a special services charge equal to the "actual cost" of that employee's time shall be charged. The requester shall be advised of the hourly rate of the employee and estimated time anticipated for the work. If the requester wishes to proceed with the production of the records, he shall provide payment for the special services fee prior to commencement of the work. The Borough shall provide a statement of the hours which were spent on the request. If the hours are less than anticipated, the excess funds shall be returned to the requester.

I estimate that it will take approximately 4 hours, estimated to cost $118.16, to gather the information requested responsive to this request. Given the upcoming holidays, the information will be available on or about January 5, 2018. Should the actual time necessary to gather the information take less than the estimate 4 hours, any excess funds will be returned to you; if it takes more than the estimated 4 hours, you will be advised to remit the balance due.

Please advise if you wish the Borough to proceed with gathering the information requested, and remit your deposit, payable to the Borough of Sea Girt, to my attention at the address listed below.
