reviewed and processed. A response will be sent within seven (7) business
days after the City's custodian of records receives the request.

seek information (and not records), or ask questions are not proper
requests. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37

research or create new records in response to an OPRA request. You will be
