The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supe111isor ofR ecords February 7, 2020 SPR20/0142 Lieutenant Joseph W. Casey City of Medford - Police Department 100 Main Street Medford, MA 0215 5 Dear Lieutenant Casey: I have received the petition of Joseph Viglione appealing the nonresponse of the City of Medford - Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on January 9, 2020, Mr. Viglione requested the following records: • The contract signed by Police Chief, John Buckley • The job description for the Chief of Police in Medford • Notes and documents regarding a determination by the Department in reference to an identified floppy disc. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Viglione petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Depaiiment provided a response to Mr. Viglione's request on January 29, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of a lack of response by the Department to Mr. Viglione's request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Viglione may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Joseph Viglione 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
