CUSTODIAN CLARIFICATION REQUEST TO OPRA REQUEST 33-2025
January 9th, 2025
Your request: A digital list of all active employees hired by the County
of Atlantic.
Please include their
job title ,
department they work in,
hire date,
union affiliation,
base salary and overtime pay.
Please include full time staff, part time staff, and,
temporarily/seasonally employed workers.
At this time, your request is overly broad and unclear, and I am therefore
requesting clarification. Your request is overly broad, unclear and fails
to specify the documents you are seeking with particularity and would
require the custodian to research which documents are responsive.
Currently, your request is for a class of various documents rather than a
request for a specific identifiable government record and OPRA does not
require custodians to research files to discern which records may be
responsive to a request. The request you have submitted fails to identify
with reasonable clarity the specific government records sought, as is
required by Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37
(App. Div. 2005). The New Jersey Superior Court has held that “OPRA … is
not intended as a research tool litigants may use to force government
officials to identify and siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA simply
operates to make identifiable government records ‘readily accessible for
inspection, copying, or examination.’ N.J.S.A. § 47:1A-1.” MAG
Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.
Super. 534, 546 (App. Div. 2005). In short, OPRA does not countenance
open-ended searches of an agency’s files.” (Emphasis added.) Id. at
549. Further, in Bent, the Appellate Division held that a proper request
under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are
desired, and a party cannot satisfy this requirement by simply requesting
all of an agency’s documents.” Please identify with reasonable clarity
the time frame for the documents that you are seeking on or before January
21st, 2025.
