Mr. Michael,

My office is in receipt of your OPRA request inquiring about the following:

"Copies of ALL invoices for all fire extinguisher, kitchen fire suppression, and fire alarm services from 2020 to present."

Please be advised, your request requires clarification as it is overly broad and requires the custodian to "evaluate" which invoices match the description. under OPRA, a request must identify specific identifiable government records. Custodians are not required to conduct research or to identify which records might fit a general description, they are required to retrieve.

Also, "all invoices for services" requires a search through every voucher and purchase order for the last six years to determine which ones specifically relate to fire extinguishers or kitchen suppression.

Please clarify your request regarding the following:

From which specific department (e.g., "Invoices held by the Fire Department or Finance)
From which specific vendor (e.g., "Invoices from [Vendor Name])
From which specific location (e.g. Invoices for services at the Municipal Building)
Regarding your time frame (which is voluminous) (e.g. from January 2020 to the present)

Please narrow down your request, as it will help us retrieve the specific document(s) you are seeking. We will not process your request until we receive your response.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Sandra Olivola,RMC/QPA/CMR
