The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords October 23, 2017 SPR17/1440; SPR17/1441; SPR17/1484 Cindy Livingstone Assistant Town Clerk Town of Ashland 10 1 Main Street Ashland, MA 01721 Dear Ms. Liningstone: I have received the petition of Stephen Morgan appealing the nomesponse of the Town of Ashland (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Mr. Morgan requested records related to minutes and programs of the Town. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, I was informed that the Town had provided timely responses to Mr. Morgan by email which also included instructions for him to access the requested records on the Town's website. Since this appeal was opened based upon Mr. Morgan's concern of the Town's "late" response to a request for public records, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Morgan may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's responses within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Stephen Morgan 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
