The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records August 31, 2017 SPR17/1184 Steve Giberti Dear Mr. Giberti: This office has received your petition dated August 28, 2017 related to a request for records, dated August 15, 2017, sent to the Town of Bridgewater (Town). After reviewing this information I find that I am unable to accept your appeal. Such appeal shall be in writing, and shall include a copy of the letter by which the request was made and, if available, a copy of the letter by which the custodian responded. Unfortunately the materials you submitted did not include a copy of the original request letter sent to the Town. Also please note, the Public Records Access Regulations, which govern the procedural aspects of all appeals, provide records custodians with ten business days in which a response to a public records request must be provided. See 950 C.M.R. 32.06 (2) (b); G.L. c. 66, § lO(b). Please feel free to re-submit your appeal when you have retrieved copies of all the required documents. If after 10-business days have passed and the Town denies your request or fails to respond, you may appeal to this office. At that time this office will review the matter. Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Aisha Losche 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
