The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords October 18, 2018 SPR18/1474 Bridget Connelly, Esq. Assistant General Counsel Department of Conservation and Recreation 251 Causeway Street Suite 600 Boston, MA 02114 Dear Attorney Connelly: I have received the petition from Glen Ayer appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Ayer requested various records related to the "Brook Road deforestation project." Claiming to not have received a response from the Department, Mr. Ayer petitioned the Supervisor of Records and SPR18/1474 was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated October 15, 2018. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Ayer may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Glen Ayer 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
