Dear Red Bank Borough,

Each employee record should contain: an individual’s name, title, position, salary(and longevity pay, overtime pay if applicable), payroll record, length of service, date of separation and the reason for such separation.....pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10.
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10
23) Personnel and pension records, except specific information identified as follows:
a. An individual’s name, title, position, salary, payroll record, length of service, date of separation and the reason for such separation, and the amount and type of any pension received,
b. When required to be disclosed by another law, when disclosure is essential to the performance of official duties of a person duly authorized by this State or the United States, or when authorized by an individual in interest.
c. Data contained in information which disclose conformity with specific experiential, educational or medical qualifications required for government employment or for receipt of a public pension, but not including any detailed medical or psychological information.

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your OPRA request dated and received via email on 12/7/2017.
Please be advised that, according to the Government Records Council publication, “A Citizen’s Guide to the Open Public Records Act,” OPRA requests must be specific:
Requestors must be as specific as possible when requesting records. For example, requestors must identify types of records, dates, parties to correspondence, subject matter, etc. However, requestors may not know the names of certain records. The spirit of OPRA implies that custodians assist requestors with identifying the records they are seeking, although a custodian’s failure to do so is not a violation of OPRA.
Searches, requests for information or requests that ask questions are NOT valid OPRA requests.
Your request for "personnel and pension records" is consider too vague.
However, I forwarded your request to the appropriate department to see if they could identify a record that would provide the information you had requested and they responded with the attached document(s). While it may not provide all of the requested information, we believe this is the record that most closely matches your request.
To the best of my knowledge, no other records exist that would be responsive to your request. If you are aware of a specific document that you believe has been omitted, please clearly identify that record by name, date and subject matter.
This will close this OPRA request.
