The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords June 9, 2017 SPR17/785 Nichol M. Figueiredo Records Access Officer Town of Framingham 150 Concord Street Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Figueiredo: I have received the petition of Deborah Butler appealing the response of the Town of Framingham (Town) to her request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § IOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Ms. Butler requested a formal copy of a compliant issued against an identified individual in which Ms. Butler believes she is named. Unsatisfied with the Town's response, which notes that they do not have any responsive records, Ms. Butler petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that a representative from the Town, in tandem with an agent in the Human Resources Department, intend on providing Ms. Butler with a response to her appeal. Accordingly, I will consider this administrative appeal closed with the proviso that the Town provide Ms. Butler with a response within ten business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Butler may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Deborah Butler One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state:ma.us
