The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 27, 2022 SPR22/2863 Richard A. Villani Town Administrator Town of Milford 52 Main Street, Room #11 Milford, MA 01757 Dear Mr. Villani: I have received the petition of Harold S. Rhodes appealing the response of the Town of Milford (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 30, 2022, Mr. Rhodes requested the following records: 1. Meeting minutes for all meetings during 2020, 2021, and 2022 for the Milford Retirement Board, or where these minutes can be found on the Town website. 2. A list of all retirees and the amount of their retirement benefit. It would be appreciated if the department from which each retiree retired would be included. On December 12, 2022, the Town responded. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Rhodes petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2863, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response on December 20, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s December 12th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Rhodes may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Harold C.
