Good afternoon Mr. Michalowski,

The Borough of Emerson received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on Tuesday, April 20, 2021. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is Thursday, April 29, 2021. This response to your request is being provided to you on the same business day as the custodian’s receipt of said request.

Your request sought access to the following: "If your municipality has a police civilian review board, or police citizen advisory board could you please provide a copy of the ordinance/resolution that formed the board and their by-laws".

Kindly note that there are no records responsive to your request. Please confirm receipt of this response to ensure this office’s timely compliance with your request.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Borough of Emerson to deny access. 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.
