The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 7, 2021 SPR21/1321 Susan M. O’Neil Senior Clerk Wilmington Police Department 121 Glen Road Wilmington, MA 01887 Dear Ms. O’Neil: I have received the petition of Mitchell Kosht of the Committee for Public Counsel Services appealing the nonresponse of the Wilmington Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 8, 2021, Mr. Kosht requested the following records: 1. A spreadsheet, e.g., Microsoft Excel, or other flat file format, e.g., Comma-separated Values (CSV) or Tab-separated Values (TSV), containing the following fields of data for all personnel employed by the Wellesley Police Department: a. Employee Identification number b. Last Name c. First Name d. Badge number e. Rank f. Status (i.e, "active" or "suspended with pay") g. Date the individual joined the Wellesley Police Department 2. A spreadsheet identical to that generated in response to the first part of this request, with the same information as of January 1st of each year dating back to 2010. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Kosht petitioned this office and SPR21/1321 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Kosht a response dated June 3, 2021. In light of the Department’s June 3rd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kosht may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
