The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 22, 2022 SPR22/2821 Leisa Legge Town of Cohasset 41 Highland Avenue Cohasset, MA 02025 Dear Ms. Legge, I have received the petition of Paul Vilela appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Cohasset (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 17, 2022, Mr. Vilela requested various records related to renovations for the Cohasset Town Hall. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Vilela petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2821, was opened as a result. Subsequently, a representative of the Town provided a response on December 9, 2022 to Mr. Vilela’s request. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Vilela may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Paul Vilela One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
