We are in receipt of your OPRA request. On June 5, Governor Murphy signed
Senate Bill 2930 into law, which significantly amends New Jersey’s Open
Public Records Act (OPRA) with an effective date of September 3, 2024.
Please be advised that due to the new changes to the law regarding the
disclosure of government records, the Clerk’s Office may require
additional time to ensure compliance with the new provisions. 

 

Please be further advised that the Borough has been inundated with OPRA
request which will require the Borough additional time to respond to your
request. Indeed, the sheer number of requests have caused a substantial
disruption to the operations of the Borough Clerk. We would request
patience as the Borough reviews and responds to all outstanding requests
which predate the receipt of your request.  The Borough will require at
least another 30 days to respond. If we are able to respond earlier, you
will be advised.
