Anette Seltzer Lewis v. Wayland, Town of - Office of the Board of Selectmen (SPR 20221010)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records May 6, 2022 SPR22/1010 Stephen Crane Acting Town Administrator Town of Wayland 41 Cochituate Road Wayland, MA 01778 Dear Mr. Crane: I have received the petition of Anette Lewis appealing the response of the Town of Wayland (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 29, 2021, Ms. Lewis requested the following: [a.] The scope of work and all other documents referred to (Attach Additional and considered by the Board of Selectmen under Documentation if necessary) Consent Calendar #4 “the Route 20 Corridor Project” during its 12/13/21 meeting. [b.] And, an accounting of all monies expended to date, for whatever reason, from the funding source that is also being used to pay for this current effort. This request was the subject of previous appeals. See SPR22/0423 Supervisor of Records Determination (February 28, 2022); SPR22/0574 Supervisor of Records Determination (March 23, 2022). In my March 23rd determination, I ordered the Town to explain whether segregable portions of responsive records could be provided. Subsequently, the Town responded to Ms. Lewis on April 28, 2022, providing responsive records. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, and claiming additional records exist, Ms. Lewis appealed, and this case was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, I learned that the Town provided a supplemental response by email to Ms. Lewis and this office on May 3, 2022, including additional records. As this appeal was opened based on the Town’s previous response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Lewis may further appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s May 3rd response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
