Editor's Note: Ord. No. 11-2002, adopted 6-25-2002, indicated
that the form required by P.L. 2001, c. 404, the Public Access to
Government Records Law (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), was adopted and
on file in the office of the Township Clerk.
Where the document in question is more than 100 pages in length, the Township Clerk may permit the person requesting copies to use his/her own copying machine, provided that there is no risk of damage or mutilation of the documents and it would not be incompatible with the transaction of public business. Such determination shall be completely within the discretion of the Township Clerk. The fee in such case shall be as provided in Chapter 160, Fees.
