The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Shawn A. Williams Supervisor of Records July 30, 2015 SPR15/537 Lt. Nick L. Miglionico Douglas Police Department 29 Depot Street P.O. Box 244 Douglas, MA 01516 Dear Lt. Miglionico: I have received the petition of Michael Dreslinski appealing the nonresponse of the Douglas Police Department (Department) 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 center. 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 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 the intervention by a member of my staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated July 23, 2015. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department’s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Dreslinski may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90).days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2).
