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

This office received your OPRA Request for Salaries all employees union
designation year 2019,2020,2021,2022,2023/ Emails received or sent
Director Taylor on 02/06/2023/ Official year end payroll records or the
year end pay stubs, including the total amount of remuneration paid to
each employee showing separately cash, including commissions and bonuses,
overtime any stipends for 2019,2020,2021,2022 for all Department heads and
County Manager/ All position control forms for employees of the department
of finance for the years 2020,2021,2022 and 2023, on 9/25/2023. 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 10/4/2023. 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.

Dear Mr. Johnston,

This email is a formal and complete response to your September 25, 2023,
OPRA request for all position control forms for employees of the
Department of Finance for the years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Please be advised an extensive effort will be required to process this
request. A Keyboarding Clerk 1 employee (hourly rate $21.97) will require
an estimated 10 hours to review files, locate and compile responsive
documents. An estimated 2 hours per day will be allotted for the task so
as not to disrupt agency operations. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:
1A-5c, a special service charge will apply to process this request. The
approximate special service fee is $219.70.

Please note that the County has made every effort to ensure that the
employees assigned to this task have been identified as the minimum
personnel necessary to properly and effectively process this request, in
terms of both the total number of hours and in hourly wage. Upon receipt
of the special service fee—payable to the County of Union—the request will
be processed. Please note that the above hours and charges are only an
estimate, and you will only be charged for the number of hours actually
expended to process your request. (The service charge doesn’t include the
statutory per-page copying charge, should you wish to buy paper copies of
the documents.) If the total review time is less than estimated, a refund
for the difference will be issued to you.

Thank you for your patience while we worked to respond to your OPRA
request. – Marlena
