Good morning,
Your OPRA Request has been received. As a result of the ongoing pandemic,
the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) was recently amended to address the
processing of OPRA requests during a public emergency. Pursuant to the
new law, “a custodian of record shall make a reasonable effort, as the
circumstances permit, to respond to a request for access to a government
record within 7 business days or as soon as possible thereafter.” Please
be advised that all our staff is presently working remotely with limited
access to City documents and records and will make a reasonable effort to
satisfy your request. However, you should expect a complete response to
your request after the expiration of this emergency and resumption of the
Clerk’s Office to normal working conditions.
Thank you,
David M. Guarino, Captain
City of Plainfield
