Dear Anonymous:
I am writing in response to your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
received on August 5, 2024. Upon review of your request, it has been
determined that your request is overly broad and does not sufficiently
identify a specific government record. Under OPRA, a request must identify
the specific government records sought with enough clarity to allow the
records custodian to locate the records without conducting research. Your
request does not meet these criteria. Please be advised that this
response should not be construed as a denial of access to government
records, but rather a request for you to provide a more specific and clear
description of the records you are seeking. If you are able to provide
additional details or narrow the scope of your request, we will be happy
to process it accordingly. Thank you.
Amy Doherty
Dear Amy P Doherty,
My request identified specific parties, a specific date range and specific keywords for your records search. Furthermore, should the BOE or Township fail to produce the records, I will seek legal assistance and reimbursement of fees.
Yours sincerely,
