Hello,
The Township requires additional time to complete your request. OPRA allows custodians to secure 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.” See Scheeler v. N.J. Dep’t of Educ., GRC Complaint No. 2014-123 (Feb. 2016) (validating extension of time under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g) and N.J.S.A. 47: 1A-5(i)).
The Township anticipates that the requested records readily identified as responsive to your request will be available to you by the close of business on 8/3/2026.
