Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Montanaro 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 Mr. Montanaro's request with a response sent on August 2, 2017. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town's failure to provide a substantive written response. I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Montanaro 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: Andy Montanaro .
