Manasquan Borough,
My records request under OPRA has gone unanswered, and no response has been provided in any way. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i, you are in violation.
I am now requesting an internal review within your agency to determine why access to your records has been refused. My OPRA request now includes any records generated documenting that review; please provide those records immediately upon availability.
Additionally, I will be registering a Denial of Access Complaint with the Government Records Council due to your failure to comply with law if you do not respond within 24 hours.
Custodians should fulfill a request as soon as possible but NOT LATER THAN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS after the request is received, provided that the record is currently available and not in storage or archived. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i. Day One (1) is the day following the custodian’s receipt of the request. It is the GRC’s position that a custodian’s written response either granting access, denying access, seeking clarification or requesting an extension of time within the statutorily mandated seven (7) business days, even if said response is not on the agency’s official OPRA request form, is a valid response pursuant to OPRA. If the custodian fails to respond to the requestor within seven (7) business days after receiving a request, the FAILURE TO RESPOND will be deemed a denial of the request. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i.

Manasquan Borough,
For the record, this request was submitted to your office and received by you five (5) business days before you took leave of your duties on 7/20/2018. Ignoring this request until you return to your office is a failure of your responsibilities to the public you serve and is not acceptable. I shall be submitting my complaint forthwith to the GRC due to your blatant disregard of your duties and careless violation of law.

Dear Acciavatti, Nancy,
This request is not closed. The information was not disclosed within the timeframe described by law, and I have requested an internal review to determine why your office failed to respond in a timely manner. I have requested that the documents resulting from that review be provided.
Please provide those documents as requested within a timely manner.
PSNJ, Ironbound Media
Dear PSNJ, Ironbound Media - The information sent to you by Ms.
Acciavatti was to fulfill your original request submitted on July 13,
2018. The additional request for documents was submitted on July 26,
2018. This e-mail is in response to your July 26, 2018 request where you
requested an internal review to determine why my office failed to respond
in a timely manner. You have requested that the documents resulting from
that review be provided.
Once the issue was brought to my attention I responded within your
requested 24 hour response time to the July 13, 2018 OPRA request.
This is the response to the internal review requested on July 26, 2018
regarding the documents not being submitted in a timely manner per OPRA
regulations.
Attached please find your July 13, 2018 OPRA request along with an e-mail
forwarding the request to the Deputy Custodian of Records for the Police
Department on the same date. It is my understanding that the employee
assigned to complete this request was working with the Borough Attorney
Mark Kitrick to complete the request in a timely manner. It is also my
understanding that the person assigned to complete the request was under
the assumption that the Borough Attorney was submitting the requested OPRA
documents when in fact the Borough Attorney was under the assumption that
the employee assigned was submitting the requested OPRA documents.
I can absolutely state that I take my custodian of records duties
seriously and would never and have never blatantly disregarded by duties
in any way.
This was just a miscommunication between the Borough and the Attorney as
to who was to submit the OPRA documents to your organization.
If you have any questions or need additional information please do not
hesitate to reach out to me.
