In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5, all records
which are required by law to be made, maintained or kept on file by
any board, body, agency, department, commission, authority or official
of the Township shall be deemed to be public records. Public records
as defined by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 shall be made available for inspection
and copying during regular business hours by the custodian of any
such records. Copies of records shall be made available upon the payment
of such price as shall be established by law.
[Amended 5-17-2000 by Ord. No. 00-018; 6-8-2000 by Ord. No.
00-020; 2-18-2014 by Ord. No. 14-005; 7-18-2017 by Ord. No. 17-029]
[Amended 7-18-2017 by Ord. No. 17-029]
Where the documents in question are more than 100 pages in length, the Municipal Clerk may permit the person requesting copies to use his 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 Municipal Clerk. The daily fee in such case shall be as set forth in Chapter 215, Fees, of the Township Code.
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 5-194, where it shall appear that the records which are sought to be examined pertain to an investigation in progress by any body, agency, commission, board, authority or official, the right of examination may be denied if the inspection, copying or publication of the records shall be inimical to the public interest; provided, however, that this section shall not be construed to prohibit any body, agency, commission, board, authority or official from opening such records for public examination if not otherwise prohibited by law.
