The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 10,201 8 SPR18/1281 The Honorable Paul Heroux Mayor of Attleboro Attleboro City Hall - Office of the Mayor 77 Park Street Attleboro, MA 02703 Dear Mayor Heroux: I have received the petition of Roxanne Houghton appealing the response of the City of Attleboro (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Houghton requested on August 8, 201 8 "copies of all emails" sent by the Mayor to the City Council President between July 2,201 8 to July 7, 201 8. Upon not receiving a response from the City, Ms. Houghton appealed to this office on August 24,201 8. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated August 24,201 8. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the City's failure to provide a response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Houghton may appeal the substantive nature of the City's See response within ninety days. 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
