Good morning,
Please see attached your OPRA request received on July 8, 2026. You were
sent an email on July 17, 2026 requesting an extension until today, July
31, 2026.
Attached are the responsive documents to your OPRA request.
Pursuant to the New Jersey Supreme Court’s decision in Libertarians for
Transparent Government v. Cumberland County, 250 N.J. 46 (2022),
settlement agreements that resolve internal disputes between a public
employee and their employer are considered personnel records. As such,
portions of those agreements that do not fall within the statutory
exceptions of the disclosure of personnel records set forth
in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10 shall be redacted.
No other records were found in our files.
This concludes your OPRA request and the matter is now closed.
Respectfully,
Colleen L. Little
