The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords August 31, 2017 SPR17/1160 Doug Willardson Town Administrator Town of Webster 350 Main Street Webster, MA 01570 Dear Mr. Willardson: I have received the petition of Dr. Cathleen Godzik and Gail Arsenault appealing the nonresponse ofthe Town of Webster (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Dr. Godzik and Ms. Arsenault requested "specific support documentation" relating to a statement ma,de by a representative from the Town. Claiming to not yet have received a response, the requesters 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 the Town responded to Dr. Godzik and Ms. Arsenault's request with a response sent via email on August 28, 2017. Whereas this appeal was opened as a result of the Dr. Godzik and Ms. Arsenault not receiving a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Dr. Godzik and Ms. Arsenault may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Cathleen Godzik, M.D. Gail Arsenault 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
