L. c. 66, § 10(b); 950 C.M.R. 32.05. The response may be an offer to provide records, a fee estimate for provision of the records, or a denial. The Department is advised that all records custodians must comply with both the Public Records Law and the Regulations with respect to the timeliness of response. Subsequent to contact by my staff you responded to Mr. Dreslinski's request. In a letter dated August 28, 2014 you provided copies of responsive records.
