Karen M. Tonelli v. Gill, Town of - Town Clerk (SPR 20220177)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 4, 2022 SPR22/0177 Ray Purington Town Administrator Town of Gill 325 Main Road Gill, MA 01354 Dear Mr. Purington: I have received the petition of Karen M. Tonelli appealing the response of the Town of Gill (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 11, 2022, Oliver Beane requested a copy of an appraisal report “received by the Gill Board of Assessors from FirstLight relative to real estate owned by Firstlight MA Hydro LLC located in the Towns of Gill and Montague regarding valuation for the FY 2022 tax period” and meeting minutes of the Gill Board of Assessors. The Town provided records and a response on January 20, 2022. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response Ms. Tonelli petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0177, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal on February 2, 2022, a supplemental response was provided on behalf of FirstLight MA Hydro LLC (FirstLight). Where the basis of this appeal was the Town’s January 20th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Ms. Tonelli may appeal the substantive nature of the February 2rd response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
