Mr. Moore,
This correspondence shall serve as Nutley Township (the “Township”)’s
response to your request for access to government records pursuant to the
Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1, et seq. (“OPRA”), which was
received by the Township on March 6, 2025 during regular office hours.
Attached is a copy of your request for records, and below is the
Township’s response to the same:
Please see attached the Township record responsive to your request. Please
note than an updated debt schedule for 2024 will be available after the
2024 audit has been completed.
Additionally, the attached Township debt information is accessible via the
Township website, [1]www.nutleynj.org. For your convenience, I am
including a direct link to the document here:

To the extent that you have also requested access to the above government
records under the common law, your stated interest in obtaining the
records must be balanced against the Township of Nutley’s interest in
nondisclosure. See Loigman v. Kimmelman, 102 N.J. 98 (1986). The foregoing
response to your request for access to government records incorporates the
aforementioned balancing test. Please note that "a party's status as a
litigant does not enlarge its access to government records under OPRA”.
MAG Entm't, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super.
534, 545-46 (App. Div. 2005). The Township reserves its right to deny any
request for records that are the subject of any discovery, subpoena or
court order pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5. Moreover, the Township may
restrict access to records sought for a commercial purpose. Id. The
Township reserves the right to raise any other grounds for denial not
raised in this response. Failure of the Township to assert an exemption or
privilege does not act as a waiver of any grounds for denial. Furthermore,
a reviewing Court or the Government Records Council ("GRC") may deem a
denial of access to be authorized on grounds other that those advanced by
a custodian. See Paff v. Twp. of Plainsboro, A-2122- 05T2, 2007 WL 957289,
at *2 (App. Div., Apr. 2, 2007), affirming, Paff v. Township of
Plainsboro, GRC Complaint No. 2005-29 (March 2006). If your request for
access to a government record has been denied or unfilled, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Township to deny access. At your
option, you may either initiate a proceeding in the Superior Court of New
Jersey or file a complaint with the GRC by completing the Denial of Access
Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at
866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at
[3][email address], or on its website at [4]//www.state.nj.us/grc. The
GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding
complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk
in your County.
Sincerely,
Ceci Tramontana, RMC
