I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Good afternoon Giselle,
Please see the attached records you have requested in regards to your OPRA
request for the following:
The most recent license renewal application and approved renewal form.
The name, business name (if applicable), mailing address, email address,
and telephone number of the current license holder as reflected in
municipal records.
Any correspondence between the Township and the license holder from
January 1, 2023 to present regarding renewal status, inactivity status,
transfer inquiries, or intent to sell.
Any municipal resolutions or governing body actions within the past five
years related to the renewal, inactivity extension, or special ruling
affecting these licenses.
Please note that per the following State Statute the addresses, email
addresses and phone numbers have been redacted for license 1420-33-001-009
as it is owned by an individual.
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 “a public agency has a responsibility and an obligation
to safeguard from public access a citizen's personal information with
which it has been entrusted when disclosure thereof would violate the
citizen's reasonable expectation of privacy.” Burnett v. County of Bergen,
198 N.J. 408 (2009). Without ambiguity, the court held that the privacy
provision “is neither a preface nor a preamble.” Rather, “the very
language expressed in the privacy clause reveals its substantive nature;
it does not offer reasons why OPRA was adopted, as preambles typically do;
instead, it focuses on the law’s implementation.” “Specifically, it
imposes an obligation on public agencies to protect against disclosure of
personal information which would run contrary to reasonable privacy
interests.”
In regards to your OPRA request for the following:
Documentation reflecting the current status of each license, including
whether the license is classified as inactive, pocketed, or subject to any
special conditions
