The clerk's office serves as the primary custodian of records for the township.
When you make a request, be as specific as possible. Identify the types of records, dates (a date range is required), parties to any correspondence, and the subject matter. Requests for information or questions are not valid OPRA requests and will be denied. OPRA applies only to requests for specific government records as stated in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.
Note: Requests that ask questions rather than identify specific records will be returned as invalid under the Marlboro OPRA policy.
