The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records April 10,201 8 SPR181448 Tom Mayo Interim Town Administrator Hingham Town Hall 210 Central Street Hingham, MA 02043 Dear Mr. Mayo: I have received the petition of Jean Lang appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Hingham (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Lang requested records pertaining to a personnel settlement. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Lang 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 Ms. Lang's request with a response sent on April 6,2018 . Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town's failure to provide a response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Lang may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, V Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Jean Lang 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
