OPRA allows the records custodian to seek extensions of time pursuant to
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5i. The County anticipates requiring an additional one
week (until October 17, 2025) to compile, review, and produce the
potentially responsive records in accordance with New Jersey law. The
County also reserves the right to request an additional extension of time,
if necessary. See Scheeler v. New Jersey Department of Educ., GRC
Complaint No. 2014-123 (2016).
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Kelly Mager - Custodian of Records

RE: Record Request [2]Request Number: PRR-2025-988 - Submitted On:
09/30/2025
Dear Jerk Shittarelli,
Please note that the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) only
allows requests for specifically identifiable County records in contrast
from requests for information. In order to be considered valid, your OPRA
request must reasonably identify a record and not generally data,
information or statistics. As the County is not legally obligated to
conduct research and respond to general inquiries, the County will not
respond to OPRA requests that are phrased as questions. Accordingly
several of your requests are in the form of questions and no answers are
being provided to those items. In regards to the continuity of operations
plans, this request if being denied as per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1(11) as it
pertains to Emergency or security information or procedures for any
buildings or facility which, if disclosed, would jeopardize security of
the building or facility or persons therein.
Please be advised that the County does not maintain an EZPass account.
Your Open Public Records request has thus been processed in accordance
with N.J.S.A. 47:1A:1 and is now closed.
Thank you,
Kelly Mager - Custodian of Records
