Good Afternoon,
Looking at our OPRA log I do not find a request for these records on April 24th. However, I do see a similar request made on April 23rd requesting the same information but for the Township of Old Bridge. We responded to said request on April 24th advising you that these records do not pertain to our municipality and therefore we do not have access to that information.
I will log your most recent email as a new OPRA request and forward to the Finance Department for fulfillment.
Kind regards,
Michelle Estremera
