Boonton Township received your request for Police Department payroll
records on May 28, 2020 pursuant to the Open Public Records Act ("OPRA")
and common law right of access. The ongoing State of Emergency and Public
Health Emergency related to COVID-19 has resulted in significantly
modified/reduced staffing throughout the State. Accordingly, on March 21,
2020 the Legislature amended OPRA to provide additional time to respond to
government record requests during such period. Due to the expansiveness of
your request, and the Township's modified staffing levels, we will require
additional time to complete your request. We anticipate that records
readily identified as responsive to your request will be available to you
by the close of business on June 30, 2020. If the records are available
earlier, we will forward them to you as soon as your request is complete.

On May 28, 2020, I received your request for government records pursuant
to the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”)  and common law. Please accept
this letter as my response pursuant to OPRA.  There was an extension to
June 30, 2020.

Your request seeks the following records:

             For all employees working in the police department from
2012-2019:

             Please provide the name, hire date, current status (whether
active or separated),  and date of separation.

Responsive records are enclosed. The following information has been
redacted:

• Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and telephone
numbers pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.
• Medical information pursuant to Executive Order 26 (“Information
relating to medical, psychiatric or psychological history, diagnosis,
treatment or evaluation.”).

This OPRA request is now deemed answered and closed. 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
denial.  At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the
Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government
Records Council (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 [1][email address], or
at their web site at [2]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.

Please contact me directly if you have any questions regarding this
matter.
