The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 16, 2023 SPR23/0419 Kyle A. Wiley Records Access Officer Town of Marblehead Abbott Hall 188 Washington Street Marblehead, MA 01945 Dear Ms. Wiley: I have received the petition of Allen Waller appealing the response of the Town of Marblehead (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 13, 2023, Mr. Waller requested, “... solicitation, notice of award, contract and payment history for Northeast Environmental Labs for asbestos abatement work as well as proof of disposal for items on attached list.” The Town responded on February 27, 2023. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Waller petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0419, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response to Mr. Waller on March 15, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s February 27th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Waller may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s March 15th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Allen Waller 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
