Tax Roll - 1993
Dear Brick 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:
The Extended Tax Duplicate (Tax Roll) for Brick Township for the year 1993.
Thank you
Resident
Please see the below response to your OPRA request from our Tax Collector's Office:
"The extended tax duplicate for 1993 is roughly 3,000 11X17 pages that span 13 binders
This record is not in electronic format and will have to be removed from the binders and the pages scanned into the computer individually."
Therefore, a Special Service Charge will be added to this request.
OPRA allows public agencies to impose special service charges whenever the nature, format, manner of collation, or volume of a government record embodied in the form of printed matter to be inspected, examined, or copied pursuant to this section is such that the record cannot be reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business size or when fulfilling a request requires an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c. Special service charges must be based upon the actual direct cost of providing the copy or copies.
OPRA mandates that the requestor shall have the opportunity to review and object to the charge prior to it being incurred. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c. As such, a detailed estimate is provided below:
Hourly rate of lowest level employee capable of fulfilling the request = $20.20/per hour
The number of hours anticipated to complete request = 20 hours
Total estimated special service charge = $404.00
Kindly respond in writing with your acceptance or rejection of this estimated charge. We will not begin to process this request until we receive your written acceptance.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Larney,
I will have to reject that charge. Could you please ask them If those pages are in numerical order by block #, and If I amend my request just for the pages involving Block 818 through Block 853, would that be do-able to get scanned, or would there still be a charge?
Thank you,
Resident
