The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Shawn A. Williams Supervisor of Records July 6, 2015 SPR15/481 Mr. Peter Johnson-Staub Town of Yarmouth 1146 Route 28 South Yarmouth, MA 02664 Dear Mr. Johnson-Staub: I have received the petition of Michael Dreslinski appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Yarmouth (Town) to his request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 10(b); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Dreslinski requested records regarding a specifically identified railroad. Having received no response, Mr. Dreslinski petitioned this office. Under the Public Records Law and the Access Regulations (Regulations) all requests for public records must be met with a response within ten (10) days of the request. G, 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 Town 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 the intervention by a member of my staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated June 30, 2015. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Town’s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Dreslinski may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). cc: Mr. Michael Dreslinski One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 - (617) 727-2832 - Fax (617) 727-5914 Www.sec.state.ma.us/ pre
