Good morning,
In response to your OPRA request 26-0155, attached are the papers signed when the phone was originally picked up and then returned to the Township.
As the phone was wiped when returned no phone/email logs are available.
As the remaining items are requests for information and not for specific records those items have been denied as OPRA is to be used to request specific documents.
This request is complete.
Thank you.
