Subject: RE: OPRA request - OPRA: Purchase invoice of body worn cameras

Good Afternoon,
At this time, your request requires an additional forty-five (45) days
beyond the seven (7) business days to review, and if appropriate, provide
the documents to fulfill your request. As you know, OPRA allows
custodians to seek extensions of the time pursuant to N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5(i). In addition, the statute has recently been amended to provide
that the normal deadlines shall not apply, provided however, that the
custodian of a governmental record shall make a reasonable effort, as the
circumstances permit, to respond to a request for access to a governmental
record within seven (7) business days or as soon as possible thereafter.
Be advised that we are making a reasonable effort, as the circumstances
permit, to review and respond to your request, which includes an extension
of time as needed.
Thank you,
Ashley
