Township Council Special Meeting (February 6, 2023)
Dear Clark 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:
A copy of the agenda for the Township Council Special Meeting on February 6, 2023. Currently on the agenda center there is an agenda but it is a duplicate copy of the Township Council Workshop Meeting on February 6, 2023. I believe there should be 2 different agendas.
Yours faithfully,
James M
I will be out of the office with limited access to email beginning Friday,
February 10 and returning Tuesday, February 21. Monday February 20 is a
holiday and Town Hall will be closed. For immediate assistance or to send
an OPRA request contact [email address] or
[email address]
Edith L. Merkel, RMC
Township Clerk

This email will serve as both receipt of your request and the response.
The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on Friday, February 17, 2023 4:22 PM (after regular business hours). The official Records Custodian, Edith Merkel, received your OPRA request on February 21, 2023 (first business day). This response to your request is being provided to you on the same business day as the custodian’s receipt of said request.
Your OPRA request (below) sought access to the documents indicated.
The February 6, 2023 Special Council Meeting Agenda is attached and is responsive to your request. Thank you for pointing out the duplication on the website. It has been corrected.
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 Clark 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 toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
