In a telephone conversation between the Town and a staff attorney in the Public Records Division, the Town indicated that it intends on providing a supplemental response. Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Ms. Dormer with a written response in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Regulations, and this order within ten business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Dormer may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety days.
