Good Afternoon,
We have entered your request into the online portal, and you should have
received the associated tracking numbers.
While it is not mandatory to submit OPRA requests through the online portal,
we highly recommend using it. The portal enables us to track and process all
OPRA requests more efficiently. When requests are submitted via email, we
must manually enter the information into the system, which can delay
processing.
Our portal is user-friendly and typically results in a quicker response
time. You can access it here:

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Joycelyn E. White

Dear Requestor,
This email is in regards to the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request

The OPRA request seeks access to the following:
Records requested:
Currently, your request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific government records sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford
Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). At this time,
we request clarification of your OPRA request.
Please note the following comment(s):
This is currently too vague as is. What address/addresses is this being
requested for? Are you looking specifically for invoices or reports? The
fire bureau would only have reports for the annual alarm testing, may have
a record of the fire extinguisher service(depending on service company).
This is an automated email notification, please do not reply. Contact the
custodian by email at [2][South Orange Village request email], or by phone at
(973) 378-7715, quote the tracking number above, and identify the specific
government records sought so that we may process your request. Failure to
provide clarification of your request will result in the closure of this
OPRA request.
Please be advised that the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to
your request begins again from the day after the Custodian of Records
receives your clarification.
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 Township of South Orange Village 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
