G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on July 19, 2020, Ms. Spaulding requested records of “any and all public records requests made by Corey Spaulding to the Town of Natick,” within the possession of the Town. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Spaulding petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR20/1365, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal by a staff member of the Public Records Division, the Town has yet to provide a response with respect to Ms. Spaulding’s July 19, 2020 request. Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Ms. Spaulding with said response in compliance with the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations as soon as is practicable. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Spaulding 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.
