Thank you.
I'm just surprised. Why do you extra time?

--I am not asking for general information to be analyzed, collated and/or compiled.
--I am not asking to conduct open ended searches of your files.
--I am not asking you to conduct any research in response to my request.

I am simply asking for the existing records as they were. Shouldn't you just send me a copy of the readily available documents?

Yours sincerely,

Mike

Dear Mustafa ,

Thank you for providing these agreements.
It seems that your Board Resolutions are missing the certification. The certification must be kept with the resolution awarding the contract.

Can you please provide the the certification for each awarded contract under OPRA?

Please see the statue below:

(b) Before the governing body awards a contract under the EUS provisions which
exceeds the bid threshold established in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:11- 6.1b or
18A:18A-37b, a designated administrative official of the contracting unit must file a
certificate with the governing body clearly describing the nature of the work to be done,
stating that it is not reasonably possible to draft specifications, describing the informal
solicitation of quotations, and describing in detail why the contract meets the provisions
of the statute and these rules. A mere recitation of the language in the statute shall not be
sufficient for this purpose. A standard certification format is available from the Division
of Local Government Services and must be utilized. The certification must be kept with
the resolution awarding the contract. (https://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/dl...)

Yours sincerely,

Mike

Dear Mustafa Coban,

Mike
