The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords May 13, 2019 SPR19/934; SPR19/935 Susan M. Galvin Town Clerk Town of Milton 525 Canton Avenue Milton, MA 02186 Dear Ms. Galvin: I have received the petitions of Cindy Christiansen appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Milton (Town) to requests for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Christiansen made two separate requests for records seeking a "Contract and cover letter of the report for all investigations ... " conducted by an identified individual (SPR19/934). Ms. Christiansen's second request was for correspondence involving "all emails" from five individuals within a specified timeframe (SPR19/935). Claiming to not yet have received a response for either request, Ms. Christiansen petitioned this office and these appeals were opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Town responded to Ms. Christiansen's requests with a responses sent on May 10, 2019. Whereas these appeals were opened as a result of the Town's failure to provide written responses, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Christiansen may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's responses within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Cindy Christiansen 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
