G. L. c. 66 § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). It is my understanding that Mr. Rivers requested various sets of records regarding Meeting Minutes from the Board. Mr. Rivers claims to have not yet received any response from the Board. As such, Mr. Rivers petitioned this office. Subsequent to intervention by a member of my staff, I learned that the Board provided Mr. Rivers with a response on January 23, 2017 via seven (7) different emails, all containing Meeting Minutes. Whereas this matter was opened on the basis ofthe Board's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Rivers may appeal the substantive nature of the Board's response within ninety (90) days. See C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, 4_~rl\wvwzj Rebecca S.
