Re:       Open Public Records Act (OPRA) Request(s) Acknowledgment

This office received your OPRA request for Policy of which employees get
free health benefits upon retirement and 25+ years’ service on 4/25/2023.
OPRA requires that a response be provided within 7 business days,
beginning the first business day after receipt of the request. We will
have a response prepared by 5/4/2023. Records are typically provided to
requestors in electronic format, for which there is usually no cost.
However, the County will advise of any fees before the charge is incurred.

OPRA ordinarily grants immediate access to budgets, bills, vouchers,
contracts (including collective negotiations agreements and individual
employment contracts), and public employee salary and overtime
information. While the County makes every effort to provide immediate
access to such documents, processing may take longer depending on the
amount of records requested, medium requested, if documents are in use, if
redaction is required or documents are in storage, or if the request
requires extensive work to complete. The same is true for requests for
non-immediate access documents. When additional time is needed to process
a request, the County provides requestors with written updates
accordingly.

If no records are available, or the record(s) are exempt in accordance
with OPRA, the County will advise accordingly; if your OPRA request is
denied, you have a right to appeal the decision. You may file your appeal
with the New Jersey Government Records Council (GRC) or the New Jersey
Superior Court, as provided by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6 and 7. For additional
information on the appeal process, please visit:

anticipated cooperation and patience while we work to fulfill your OPRA
request.
