G. L. c. 66 § 1O (b ); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Vacca requested copies of documents referenced by the Town Counsel during a specified Selectman's meeting. Having received no response, Mr. Vacca petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of my staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated June 21,2016. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Town's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed.
