Good afternoon,
FYI, The Borough is going to need an extension to this request due to the large volume of emails potentially being requested which may need to be reviewed and redacted. I will respond with the actual time of that extension within 7 business days of your request (before March 21, 2025.)
Please also note, that the cost of the review and redaction must be paid by you the requestor before this work is performed. The charged will be based upon the hourly wage of the lowest paid employee authorized to perform this work. We will provide an estimate to you once we have a better understanding of the volume of records this request may cover. If you reduce the scope of your request, which results in less material to review and redact, the cost would also be reduced. You will need to pay the full estimated cost before we proceed. If the costs exceed the estimate, work will cease and you will need to pay the new estimate before work resumes and pay any outstanding balance before records are provided. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns,
William Bray
Township Clerk
