Dear Mr. Roberts,
The Berkeley Township Clerk's Office received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on November 27, 2017. The official Records Custodian, Beverly M. Carle received your OPRA request on the same date. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is December 6, 2017.
Your OPRA request sought access to the following: Property tax appeals filed last 4 years and disposition of each case.
The Tax Assessor office has asked for Clarification on the request please see below.
"The within request is voluminous and vague. I would ask for clarification as to the specific document requested. If it is in fact for the entire file, the requested documents are located in storage. I would estimate approximately 1200 file folders containing 5 to 50 separate pieces letter and legal paper. Complying with this request would require an extraordinary expenditure of time and resources and pursuant to NJSA 47:1A-5(c) I estimate it will take approximately 60 hours to retrieve, review, redact and reproduce each file and/or any single specific document located within same. As such below is an estimated of cost to produce this request and the time frame to complete same is 45 days from receipt of deposit.
A. cost of copies 6,000 to 20,000= $750.00 B. $17.86 per hr x 60 hrs = $1071.60"
If you would like for the Township to proceed with the request it will require a 50% deposit and the Township will not start the process until you verify you want to proceed and until the deposit for Special Services charges is paid.
