In this matter arising under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 to -13, we affirmed the order of the Government Records Council, determining that when balancing the competing interests of access and redaction of records toprotect a person's right of privacy, the destination location of cellular calls made by municipal employees using government- issued cellular phones was not encompassed by a reasonable right to privacy protecting telephone numbers and persons called, warranting the release of the information.
