A. Designation of Custodian and Deputy Custodians of
Municipal Records:
[Amended 4-14-2022 by Ord. No. 9-2022]
(1) In accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., the Township Clerk of
the Township of Hanover is hereby designated as the Custodian of the
Township's Records and shall be responsible for receiving and replying
to all citizen requests for government records pursuant to the Open
Public Records Act and/or common law. In the absence of the Township
Clerk, the Deputy Township Clerk shall be responsible for processing
OPRA requests.
(2) In accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:9-133, to assist the Township Clerk and Deputy Township Clerk in processing requests for government records, the position of Open Public Records Act Coordinator is established. The person designated as OPRA Coordinator shall assist in the preparation of responses and coordinate the inspection, copying and/or examination of Township records. The OPRA Coordinator shall also collaborate, when necessary, with any of the Deputy Custodians designated in §
125-9A(3) below.
(3) For the purpose of expediting citizen requests in obtaining Township
records, the following positions are hereby designated as Deputy Custodians:
(a)

(j)

records, it shall be the responsibility of the Municipal Clerk to
review the subject matter in accordance with requirements of N.J.S.A.
47:1A-1 and make a determination as to whether or not the record(s)
in question should be denied.
C. Photocopies (per page).
(1) Except as otherwise provided by law or regulation,
the Township shall assess a photocopy charge at the rate of $0.07
per page for the duplication of a government record embodied in the
form of printed matter.
[Amended 11-12-2009 by Ord. No. 19-09]
(2) The Township Clerk shall have the discretion to require
a deposit against costs for reproducing documents sought through an
anonymous request whenever the Township Clerk anticipates that the
information thus requested will cost in excess of $5 to reproduce.
D. Enhanced reproduction costs. 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
is such that the record cannot be reproduced by ordinary document
copying equipment in ordinary business size, or involves an extraordinary
expenditure of time and effort to accommodate the request, the Township
shall charge, in addition to the actual cost of duplicating the record,
a special service charge that shall be reasonable and based upon the
actual direct cost to the Township of providing the copy or copies
to a member of the public.
E. Conversion of record to different medium.
(1) If a member of the public requests that a copy of
the record be provided in a certain medium, the Municipal Clerk shall
permit access to that municipal record and provide a copy in the medium
requested if the Township maintains the record in that medium. If
the Township does not maintain the record in the medium requested,
the Municipal Clerk shall either convert the record to the medium
requested or provide a copy in some other meaningful medium. If a
request is for a record in a medium not routinely used by the Township;
not routinely developed or maintained by the Township; or requiring
a substantial amount of manipulation or programming of information
technology, the Township may charge, in addition to the actual cost
of duplication, a special charge that shall be reasonable and shall
be based on the cost for any extensive use of information technology,
or for the labor cost of personnel providing the service, that is
actually incurred by the Township or attributable to the Township
for the programming, clerical and supervisory assistance required,
or both.
(2) The calculation of labor costs shall be based on the
actual number of hours expended and at the appropriate hourly labor
rate of each employee involved in preparing or assisting in the formulation
of the document in the medium so requested.
F. Records in use, storage or archived.
(1) If a municipal record requested is temporarily unavailable
because it is in use, in storage or archived, the Municipal Clerk,
Deputy Clerk or a designated Deputy Custodian of the Record shall
advise the citizen making the request within seven business days after
the Custodian receives the request. The Township shall make every
good faith effort to retrieve the stored and/or archived municipal
record in prompt fashion. Furthermore, the citizen shall be advised
by the Custodian when the record can be made available; and, if the
record is not made available by the time given, access shall be deemed
denied.
(2) In addition to the actual cost of copying or duplicating
retrieved municipal records which were in storage or archived, the
Township may charge the actual costs paid by the Township to retrieve
and return archived records to the facility utilized by the Township,
plus the labor cost expended by one or more Township employees to
pick up, deliver and return the archived municipal records.
G. Fees applicable to discovery reports and materials.

entity other than the Township of Hanover, for example, another police
department, the actual costs paid to the other entity shall be paid
