To whom it may concern:
In receipt your Open Public Records Act request received on August 31,
2023.
Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7) business days
to fulfill because of the size and scope of your request. OPRA allows
custodians to seek extensions of time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i).
Specifically, OPRA states that, “the requestor shall be advised by the
custodian when the record can be made available. If the record is not made
available by that time, access shall be deemed denied.”
Your request requires an extension of time until September 25, 2023.
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 Borough of Mountainside 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 [email address], or at
their web site at 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.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Kiana Taveras,
Deputy Clerk
