The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 4, 2019 SPR19/0387 Lawrence J. Murphy Town Clerk Town of Andover 36 Bartlet Street Andover, MA 01810 Dear Mr. Murphy: I have received the petition of Stacey Albuquerque appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Andover (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on January 17, 2019, Ms. Albuquerque requested records pertaining to "water and sewer study along with presentations at BOS meetings on this subject matter." Claiming to not yet have received all responsive records, Ms. Albuquerque petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. On February 19, 2019, Ms. Albuquerque sent an email stating the Town had provided all the responsive records. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of Town's failure to provide all responsive records, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Albuquerque 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: Stacey Albuquerque 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
