Dear Mr. Michael
The Borough of Helmetta received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on October 24, 2025. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is November 6, 2025.
Your OPRA request sought access to the following:
"All fire alarm and fire extinguisher invoices from 2019 to present. I am seeking invoices from municipal building, Library, DPW, police department and fire department."
Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7) business days to fulfill with the Finance Department. 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 November 18, 2025.
