As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is July 9, 2025. This response to your request is being provided to you on the 1st business day after the custodian’s receipt of said request.
Your OPRA request sought access to:

Response: The records attached or below are responsive to your request and provided in their entirety.
If you have any questions, please contact the Construction Department at 732-428-8401
The following legal basis applies to responses that include redactions. “A government record shall not include the following information which is deemed to be confidential for the purposes of P.L.1963, c. 73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.) as amended and supplemented: that portion of any document which discloses the social security number, credit card number, unlisted telephone number or driver license number of any person…”
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Township of Clark to deny access.
