Dear Clark Township,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:

A corrected version of 2022 user friendly budget.

The one currently online has an error in PROPERTY TAX BREAKDOWN where average residential taxpayer impact is 0 and the school district line seems to have been cut short and is showing a very low value.

Yours faithfully,

John Greaves

Re: OPRA request: Corrected 2022 User Friendly Budget

Date: July 9, 2024

The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
on July 8, 2024. The official Records Custodian, Edith Merkel, received
your OPRA request on July 8, 2024.

Your OPRA request sought access to:

Corrected 2022 User Friendly Budget: As of today, July 9, 2024, there are
no retrievable documents.

The following legal basis applies to responses that include redactions. "
A government record shall not include the following information which is
deemed to be confidential for the purposes of P.L. 1963, c 73 (C.47:1A-1
et seq.) as amended and supplemented: that portion of any document which
discloses the social security number, credit card number, unlisted
telephone number or driver license number of any person..."

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 Township of Clark 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

contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O.
Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by email at [email address], or at their
website 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.
