Records Requested:
In furtherance of our original OPRA request in April 2011 and the Borough’s response,
we presently request what has been termed by your accompanying correspondence
as “the data dump”. in (.xls) or (.csv) formats for the Borough of Roselle Park for the
calendar year 2010. We understand that this information will include, but not be
limited to, a bill list/check register. We do not expect to be charged for this request.

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. A
CSV 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 setup
and then biweekly cost to produce documents,

Programming $195.00 per hour or portion thereof

Support $160.00 per hour or portion thereof
Training $135.00 per hour or portion thereof
Data 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. and
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.d.

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

THE CONCERNED CITIZENS OF ROSELLE PARK
