G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Dreslinski requested correspondence between the Town and an identified individual. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Dreslinski 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. Dreslinski's request with a response sent on January 3, 201 8. Nevertheless, after the Town was made aware of this appeal, a representative of the Town noted their willingness to provide an additional response. Accordmgly, as the basis of this appeal was the Town's failure to provlde a substantive written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Dreslinski may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
