The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 8, 2021 SPR21/1560 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 June 8, 2021, Mr. Toomey requested: “…all information relating to Town of Rowley electric light department bills or invoices for the property located at [named address] under any names including and not limited to, [named person and named location] services over the last 6 months. This includes light poles rental fees or power useage.” On June 23, 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 7, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s June 23rd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. If Mr. Toomey is unsatisfied with the July 7th response, he may appeal the substantive nature of the response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
