Assistant City Solicitor City of Newton Law Department 1000 Commonwealth Avenue Newton, MA 02459 Dear Attorney Temple: I have received the petition of Laurel Collins appealing the nonresponse of the City of Newton (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Collins requested records between the City and a specifically identified land acquisition. Having received no response, Ms. Collins petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated June 15,2018. In addition, the City states they are working with Ms. Collins and will be producing additional documents this week. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the City's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Collins may appeal the substantive nature of the City's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, V Rebecca S.
