UC Research,
 
The Hardyston Police Department received your request for purchasing
information on May 27, 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 19, 2020. If the
records are available earlier, we will forward them to you as soon as your
request is complete.
