Mary Dormer v. Carver, Town of - Town Clerk (SPR 20212699)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 22, 2021 SPR21/2699 Cara L. Dahill Town Clerk Carver Town Hall 108 Main Street Carver, MA 02330 Dear Ms. Dahill: I have received the petition of Mary Dormer appealing the response of the Town of Carver (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 31, 2021, Ms. Dormer requested “…all email messages from The Carver Select Board during the 2019-2020 year and any and all candidates for the Interim Town Administrator Position following the departure of [named person] [and] … those emails that were used to entice[named person] to apply for the position …” On September 1, 2021, the Town responded. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Ms. Dormer petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2699, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Ms. Dormer’s request with responses sent on October 15, 2021 and October 18, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s September 1st response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Dormer may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Mary Dormer 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
