I will not use the requested records for a commercial purpose.
I am not seeking these records in connection with any legal proceeding.

Any written procedures regarding how payments for outside employment are billed, collected, held, and disbursed.

This OPRA request has been received on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. It will be
reviewed and will be processed. A response will be sent within seven (7)
business days after the Township's custodian of records receives the
request.
Please note that a proper OPRA request must identify with reasonable
clarity the records desired. OPRA submissions which request all of an
agency's documents, seek information (and not records), or ask questions
are not proper requests. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.
Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). In addition, record custodians are not
required to conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA
request.

business days after the Township's custodian of records receives the
request.
Please note that a proper OPRA request must identify with reasonable
clarity the records desired. OPRA submissions which request all of an
agency's documents, seek information (and not records), or ask questions
are not proper requests. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.
Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). In addition, record custodians are not
required to conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA
request.

in Clinton Township.
I certify that:
I have not been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New
Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I will not use the requested records for a commercial purpose.
I am not seeking these records in connection with any legal proceeding.
Note: This request is limited to records maintained by the Township’s
Finance Department, Clerk’s Office, and Administration. I am not seeking
records maintained solely within the Police Department.
