See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 2, 2022, Ms. Shelly requested “… the signed affidavit of the Sexual Harassment training that all Natick employees signed during the training for [named persons] [and] the external investigation report conducted by Crevier & Ryan [and] … any written letters of counseling, suspension letters in regard to any of those officers between 2019 and present.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Shelly petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2666, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Town has provided a response. Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Ms. Shelly with a response to the request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Shelly may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
