Murray Supervisor of Records July 8, 2021 SPR21/1558 Catie McClenaghan Town Clerk Town of Rowley 139 Main Street Rowley, MA 01969 Dear Ms. McClenaghan: I have received the petition of Timothy Toomey, appealing the response of the Town of Rowley (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 5, 2021, Mr. Toomey requested “…all information relating to Town of Rowley May 3 Town Meeting comment made by personnel committee and [named selectman] regarding report, studies, or any other related information with other governmental agencies or consulting organizations for town administrators or administrative assistants comensation [sic] salary or pay.” On June 17, 2021, the Town responded. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response Mr. Toomey petitioned this office and this appeal SPR21/1560 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Toomey’s request with a response sent on July 6, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s June 17th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. If Mr. Toomey is unsatisfied with the June 17th response, he may appeal the substantive nature of the response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
