The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 12, 2022 SPR22/1994 Kathleen A. Deree Town Clerk Town of Weymouth 75 Middle Street Weymouth, MA 02189 Dear Ms. Deree: I have received the petition of Gerard Mackin appealing the response of the Town of Weymouth (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 14, 2022, Mr. Mackin requested records for receipt of funds for covid relief from the state and federal government. Previous appeals This request was the subject of previous appeals. See SPR22/1757; SPR22/1759; SPR22/1760; SPR22/1761 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (August 3, 2022); SPR22/1803 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (August 17, 2022) and SPR22/1912 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (August 26, 2022). The Town responded on August 19, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Mackin petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1994, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response on September 9, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s August 19th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mackin may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
