Donna Kukla,

After contacting our insurance company, I received the following response:

"Due to the fact that many municipalities are receiving this similar OPRA request; the expansiveness of the request; and the need to locate records that may be in storage, additional time will be required to retrieve all documents."

Therefore we will need an extension of time to provide responsive records. We will provide the records as soon as possible.

Please confirm receipt.

Thank you
