OPRA allows the records custodian to seek extensions of time pursuant to
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5i. The County anticipates requiring an additional one
week (until October 20, 2025) to compile, review, and produce the
potentially responsive records in accordance with New Jersey law. The
County also reserves the right to request an additional extension of time,

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
