Redactions have been made over private phone numbers. A public agency has a
responsibility and obligation to safeguard from public access a citizen’s
personal information with which it has been entrusted when disclosure
thereof would violate the citizen’s reasonable expectation of privacy.
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. Additionally, redactions have been made over names
in order to protect those persons requesting anonymity under Daniel’s Law.
Daniel’s Law is a New Jersey statute that provides a means for certain
public servants to request the redaction of certain personal information
from public-facing State, county, and municipal websites. The full text of
the law can be found at P.L. 2021, c. 371 (A6171 2R CC) (njleg.gov). The
redaction of information does not imply that said redacted information
belongs to an individual who may have requested anonymity under Daniel’s
Law.

We endeavor to fulfill OPRA requests. We search for specific and
identifiable documents. We do not research for documents having been
provided instruction such as "Any" permit, "Any" inspections, "Any"
violations, "Any" record, "Any" certificate, etc. OPRA inquiries are
requests for specific and identifiable documents. Should this response fall
short of meeting your needs, please submit a new OPRA form on which are
requested specific and identifiable documents.

Thank You,

Christine M. Von Oesen
Deputy Clerk
Wantage Township
