This email will serve as both receipt of your request and the response.
The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on Friday, February 17, 2023 4:25 PM (after regular business hours). The official Records Custodian, Edith Merkel, received your OPRA request on February 21, 2023 (first business day). This response to your request is being provided to you on the same business day as the custodian’s receipt of said request.
Your OPRA request (below) sought access to the documents indicated.
Ordinance 23-08 is attached and is responsive to your request.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Township of Clark to deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
