Good morning,
As written your request is not complaint with OPRA because if fails to identify a record sought but provides the types of records your seeking and is asking the township to conduct research to determine what is on file. We are not required to conduct research.
For some of the requested items, the township may have information isa database and can run a report or query. Will this satisfy your request?
Otherwise, you would need to provide more details and or specific property addresses in each instance to receive the requested record. Please advise.
Requested records attached.
Please note: the Township considers your request to be anonymous because you have fail to provide the required information pursuant to NJSA 47:1A-5 (6.f)
