Dear Requestor,

The Borough of Seaside Park is in receipt of your request dated August 30,
2022.

Your request sought the following:
"Records requested:
-Any and all real estate transactions the borough of Seaside Park has
purchased or sold in the last 8 years.

-Please provide a list regarding seaside park eminent domain properties
such as purchases, court actions, code/property violations, etc. for the
last 8 years."

Please be advised OPRA is not intended as a research tool to force
government officials to identify and siphon useful information. Rather,
OPRA operates to make identifiable government records readily accessible
for inspection, copying or examination. OPRA does not countenance
open-ended searches of an agency’s files. MAG Entertainment, LLC v.
Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 549 (App.
Div. 2005)

A requestor must specifically describe the document sought. Bent v.
Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). “As
such, a proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity
those documents that are desired, and a party cannot satisfy this
requirement by simply requesting all of an agency's documents.” Currently,
your request for "any and all real estate transactions the Borough of
Seaside Park has purchased or sold in the last 8 years" fails to identify
with reasonable clarity the specific government records sought, as is
required by Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37
(App. Div. 2005). You have failed to specify a particular document. Please
clarify your request, stating with particularity the specific documents
sought. 

Please be advised there are no responsive documents on file to your
request for "a list regarding seaside park eminent domain properties such
as purchases, court actions, code/property violations, etc. for the last 8
years."

If you have any questions regarding OPRA, please contact the Clerk's
Office: 732-793-3700 ext. 106.

Thank you!
