Response: Hillsborough Township has received your Open Public
Records Act (OPRA) request.
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. 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:
****** [Identify lowest level employee capable of fulfilling the
request, their direct hourly rate (minus fringe benefits), the
number of hours anticipated to complete request and the total
estimated special service charge]. *******
Kindly respond in writing with your acceptance or rejection of
this estimated charge within 10 days. We will not begin to process
this request until we receive your written acceptance and payment.
If you reject the estimated charge and you wish to challenge the
special service charge, you have a right to challenge the
decision. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in
the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the
Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of
Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free
telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ,
08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at
www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about
the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior
Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
Sincerely,
Sarah Brake
Township Clerk

Good Afternoon,
OPRA request 26-0608 was processed on 5/8/26. I can see that a special
service charge letter was sent
to [1][OPRA #91146 email] on 5/8/26 at
1:45pm. (See attached). This OPRA request closed on 5/19/26 because the
requester failed to respond to the special service charge letter dated
5/8/26.
If you still want this information, please submit a new request.
Thank you.
