Brian Keaney v. Dedham, Town of - Board of Selectmen (SPR 20200895)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 19, 2020 SPR20/0895 Nancy Baker Assistant Town Manager Town of Dedham 26 Bryant Street Dedham, MA 02026 Dear Ms. Baker: I have received the petition of Brian Keaney appealing the nonresponse of the Dedham Board of Selectmen (Board) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Keaney requested several meetings’ executive session minutes. Claiming to not yet have received a response, he 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 Board responded to Mr. Keaney’s request in writing. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Board’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the Board’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Brian Keaney 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
