Re: OPRA request
Date: July 9, 2026
The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
on July 6, 2026. The official Records Custodian, Nicole Castellucci,
received your OPRA request on July 6, 2026. As such, the seven (7)
business day deadline to respond to your request is July 15, 2026. This
response to your request is being provided to you on the 3rd business day
after the custodian’s receipt of said request.
Your OPRA request sought access to:
Any policies on record for the use of municipal vehicles for personal use.
Any logs of who has the vehicle with license plate tag MG94384 on June 1,
2026 thru July 6, 2026
Response: Attached is the Employee Personnel policy regarding Municipal
Vehicle usage. We do not maintain or possess a log responsive to a portion
of your request. OPRA requires disclosure of existing government records
but does not require a public agency to create a record that does not
exist.
The following legal basis applies to responses that include redactions. “A
government record shall not include the following information which is
deemed to be confidential for the purposes of P.L.1963, c. 73 (C.47:1A-1
et seq.) as amended and supplemented: that portion of any document which
discloses the social security number, credit card number, unlisted
telephone number or driver license number of any person…”
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 [1][email address], or at
their web site at [2]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.
