Department Budgets
Thomas Fisk made this OPRA request to Oceanport Borough This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Oceanport Borough,
Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., and New Jersey Common Law, I am requesting the following public records:
1. Current fiscal year allocated line item budgets along with current fiscal year line item expenditures for the following Borough Departments:
- Police Department
- Construction Department
- Code Enforcement Department
- Public Works Department
I would like copies of these records sent to me via email.
If there are any fees for these records, please inform me of said cost. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of government accountability and oversight. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.
The New Jersey Open Public Records Act requires a response time of seven business days. If access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me with information about the cause of delay and when I might expect copies.
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Thomas Fisk
