Dear Rochelle Park Township,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

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:

I respectfully request copies of records reflecting all time off utilized by Chief Pinto during the years 2022 through 2026, including during his service as both Chief of Police and Township Administrator.

Specifically, I am requesting records showing all accrued and utilized leave time, broken down by the following categories:
Sick Time
Personal Time

Compensatory Time (if applicable)
Any other category of paid or unpaid leave utilized

Please provide the records for each calendar year separately for:
2022

2026 (through the date this request is fulfilled)

If available, I request the records in electronic format, including but not limited to payroll records, attendance reports, leave balance reports, timesheets, or any documents maintained by the Borough reflecting leave usage and balances.

If any portion of this request is denied, please provide the specific legal basis for the denial pursuant to OPRA and identify the records being withheld.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
