Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7) business days

"
Your request requires an extension of time until January 5, 2024.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Township of Howell to deny access.
At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior
