Township Council Meeting — Agenda

Following the issuance of the HGA report, but prior to the planning board's March 12, 2019 resolution and the Township Council's March 19, 2019 resolution, plaintiff submitted an OPRA request to the Township seeking "[a] copy of all reports pertaining to the designation of the . . . library as an area in need of redevelopment," and "[a] copy of all letters, emails, memoranda, and any other forms of correspondence for the period January 1, 2018[,] to February 11, 2019[,] pertaining to the designation of the . . . library as an area in need of redevelopment." In a February 25, 2019 letter to plaintiff, the Township clerk's office "produced 124 pages of documents." The letter also advised plaintiff "that certain communications do not constitute 'government records' as defined under OPRA as they are confidential and/or privilege[d] under the [a]ttorney-[c]lient privilege and/or advisory, consultative and deliberative exception under OPRA." The letter provided plaintiff with a list of thirty-two emails the Township claimed were either privileged or within an exception from the disclosure required under OPRA. A-2287-19 6 Pa006
