Dear Ms. Bloom,
The Board is in receipt of your Open Public Records Act ("OPRA") request. Your request requires additional time to respond due to the significant demands placed on the District with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, and OPRA requests. OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i). Specifically, OPRA states that “the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be made available. If the record is not made available by that time, access shall be deemed denied.” Accordingly, your request requires an extension of time until June 27, 2022.
Dear Ms. Bloom,
Your request requires further clarification. The Government Records Council has established specific criteria that must be met for a requestor to identify specific government communications. The GRC determined that to be valid, the request must contain: (1) the content and/or subject of the communication, (2) the specific date or range of dates during which the communications were transmitted, and (3) the identity of the sender and/or the recipient thereof. Elcavage v. West Milford Twp., GRC Complaint No. 2009-07 (April 2010); Caggiano v. NJ Office of the Governor, Complaint No. 2014-263 (March 2015). Your request does not identify a specific date or range of dates. As a result, your request is denied, at this time, until further clarification is provided.
