The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 20, 2021 SPR21/2365 Kathleen Gardner Town of Scituate Office of the Town Clerk 600 Chief Justice Cushing Highway Scituate, MA 02066 Dear Ms. Gardner: I have received the petition of Artie Grenier appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Scituate Office of the Town Clerk (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 27, 2021, Mr. Grenier requested the following: “[1] All written and/or electronic documents…regarding the case involving [named individual] that were created, prepared, shared, or provided to/from the Town by the American Arbitration Association in and around 2009; [2] All written and/or electronic documents…regarding the case involving [named individual] that were created, prepared, shared, or provided to/from the Town with regards to financial settlements.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Grenier petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2365, was opened as a result. It is my understanding a representative of the Town provided a response dated September 16, 2021 to Mr. Grenier’s request. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Grenier 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: Mr. Artie Grenier 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
