Kenney Town Clerk and Records Access Officer 801 Washington Street Canton, MA 02021 Dear Ms. Kenney: I have received the petition of Richard Karp appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Canton (Town) to a request dated December 10, 2018 for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Karp requested the "Reservoir Dam Project Contract." The Town has indicated that they did not receive this request, though they did receive a request dated November 19, 2018 for the same records. In response to the November 19th request, they provided a fee estimate. Given that the December 1 oth and November 19th requests seek the same records, I will consider the response provided to the November 19th request by the Town a response to the December 1 oth request as well. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Karp may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, fi6wA~ Rebecca S.
