Good morning,

Per your OPRA request requesting closed session minutes for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 regarding "BMW or Dolan", please be advised that there were no closed session minutes regarding "BMW or Dolan" in 2014. Attached are minutes for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The parts redacted are due to attorney/client privilege.

Dear Debbie Dakin,

I am baffled as to why the Borough redacted the minutes on litigation that was closed out nearly a decade ago.

There is no legal basis for the Borough not providing the meeting minutes requested on closed litigation and redacting minutes from 7, 8 and 9 years ago. Kindly provide the request meeting minutes unredacted.

Yours sincerely,

William E. Dolan

William E. Dolan

Dear Woodcliff Lake Borough,

The litigation ended nearly a decade ago, no attorney - client privilege exists.

Please send the requested minutes unredacted.

Yours faithfully,

Good morning, Mr. Dolan,

 

Tax Assessor, Ray Tighe, asks for another extension of time regarding your
OPRA requesting Tax Exemption Information.  We therefore, request a 10 day
