Murray Supervisor of Records May 24, 2022 SPR22/1103 Kate Hodges Town Administrator Town of Lancaster 701 Main Street Lancaster, MA 01523 Dear Ms. Hodges: I have received the petition of Russ Williston appealing the response of the Town of Lancaster (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 22, 2022, Mr. Williston requested payroll records from the Town. On May 10, 2022, the Town responded. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Williston petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1103, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Williston’s request with a further response sent on May 11, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s May 10th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Williston may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
