The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 11, 2020 SPR20/0419 Mary Lou Folan Norwood Town Clerk 566 Washington Street, Room 27 P.O. Box 40 Norwood, MA 02062 Dear Ms. Folan: I have received the petition of Christopher Donovan appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Norwood (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Donovan requested several categories of records within the possession of the Town. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Donovan petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Donovan's request with a response sent on March 10, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town's lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Donovan may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Christopher Donovan One Ashbmion Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre• pre@sec.state.ma.us
