See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 2, 2022, Ms. Shelly requested “… any documentation on [a named person’s] two day suspension … [and] any internal investigation, law firm, IA or otherwise leading up to the suspension [and] … their reports between 2015 and present.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Shelly petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2667, 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.
