Separation Agreement
Dear Montclair Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Please provide me with all separation agreements between the township and police officer between 2019 and 2022
Yours faithfully,
Bradley Eagon
Good morning Mr. Eagon,
The Township Clerk’s Office received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA)
request on March 29, 2022.
Your OPRA request sought access to the following:
“All separation agreements between the township and police officer between
2019 and 2022”
Your request requires additional time to fulfill because of the staff
shortage in the Human Resources Department. Your request requires an
extension of time until April 29, 2022.
Best,
Denise Dominguez

Subject: RE: OPRA Request
Per advisement of counsel, the settlement agreement found is not to be
released, as it is exempted from the “Open Public Request Act” pursuant to
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10 (Personnel, pension records not considered public
document; exceptions.).
Thank you,
Braedon

Dear Denise Dominguez,
Thank you for your response
Based on the NJ Supreme Court Case Libertarians for Transparent Government v. Cumberland County
The court ruled that the public has a right to see settlement agreements with public employees, marking a win for transparency in public records in the state.
I am making a second request for these documents
Yours sincerely,
Bradley Eagon
Good morning Mr. Eagon,
