You current OPRA request could not be fulfilled using existing
software.
In response to your email a CSV format is not the most efficient
and cost effective format for the Borough. ACSV file contains a lot
of data NOT directly related to the bill list. As part of the data
dump, the Borough would
have to delete columns each time, until only the necessary
columns are left.
Second option, has a cost associated with it to set up, review
and implement which would be your responsibility.Munidex will
convert the requested files at the following costs: minimum two
hour set up fee for initial setupand then biweekly cost to produce
documents,
Programming $195.00 per hour or portion thereofSupport $160.00
per hour or portion thereofTraining $135.00 per hour or portion
thereofData Entry $125.00 per hour or portion thereof
These charges represent the actual cost of reproducing the
records and do not violate N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c. andN.J.S.A.
47:1A-5.d.

Request For Check Register
In speaking with Munidex, we discovered that the Bill List/Check
Register can be exported to a CSV (CommaSeparated Value) format. As
this format would be most time efficient and cost effective for the
Borough, wewould request the files be sent in that (or XLS) format
in place of PDF or paper copies. Thank you for yourattention with
respect to this matter.
