Williams Supervisor of Records December 19, 2016 SPR16/1182 Mr. Jason Talerman, Esq. BBMT, LLC 730 Main Street, Suite 2-B Millis, MA 02054 Dear Attorney Talerman: I have received the petition of Daniel Harlow appealing the response of the Town of Kingston- Town Administrator (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 10(b); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Harlow requested copies of records associated with meetings held by the Town.' This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR16/962 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (November 9, 2016). In a response to this determination, the Town provided Mr. Harlow with a written response, stating that they have already provided all pertinent records. The basis of Mr. Harlow's petition is that he is claiming to have never received any new records. Conclusion I understand a member of my staff contacted your office about this matter. You indicated that the Town would provide Mr. Harlow with a supplemental response regarding this matter. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed with the proviso that the Town provide Mr. Harlow with a supplemental response to his request made in accordance with the Public Records Law and its Regulations. Mr. Harlow may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M. 32.08(2). cc: Mr. Daniel J.
