The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords September 24, 2018 SPRlS/1402 Thomas J. McQuaid, CPA Town of Norwood - Town Clerk 566 Washington Street, Room 27 P. 0. Box40 Norwood, MA 02062 Dear Mr. McQuaid: I have received the petition of Christopher Donovan appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Norwood (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on August 6, 2018, Mr. Donovan requested 15 categories of records. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Donovan records responsive to his request. It is my understanding that the records were sent via overnight shipping on September 19, 2018. Whereas this appeal was opened on the basis of a nonresponse, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Donovan 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:· Christopher Donovan Karis L.
