Joe Mandile v. Lakeville, Town of - Town Clerk (SPR 20210098)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 22, 2021 SPR21/0098 Lillian Drane Town of Lakeville, Town Clerk Town Office Building 346 Bedford St. Lakeville, MA 02347 Dear Ms. Drane: I have received the petition of Joe Mandile, of the Town Middleborough, appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Lakeville (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Mandile requested several categories of records within the possession of the Town relating to an environmental review. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Mandile petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Mandile’s request with a response sent on January 19, 2021. 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. Mandile 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: Joe Mandile, Town of Middleborough 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
