Julie A. M Ahern-Pugilese v. Watertown, City of - Office of the Town Manager (SPR 20211456)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 16, 2021 SPR21/1456 Michael J. Driscoll Town of Watertown Office of the Town Manager 149 Main Street Watertown, MA 02472 Dear Mr. Driscoll: I have received the petition of Julie Ahern-Pugliese appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Watertown Office of the Town Manager (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 19, 2021, Ms. Ahern-Pugliese requested “…all public information regarding how the Town calculates my [Ms. Ahern-Pugliese] water and sewer bills during the years, 2013 to 2021.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Ahern-Pugliese petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/1456, was opened as a result. Subsequently, it is my understanding a representative of KP Law, serving as Town Counsel, provided a response dated May 29, 2021 to Ms. Ahern-Pugliese’s request. Where 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. Ms. Ahern-Pugliese 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: Ms. Julie Ahern-Pugliese Gregg J.
