After consulting with staff, it has been determined that there are no
records responsive to your request for a list of all employees who are
assigned vehicles by the Township, including the type of vehicle
provided. Your request is denied.
The section of your request where you state, "Additionally, I would like
to know if the employee is authorized to use the vehicle for personal
purposes." is not a request for a record and therefore is denied.
