Lemieux Town Manager Town of Lunenburg 17 Main Street, PO Box 135 Lunenburg, MA 01462 Dear Ms. Lemieux: I have received the petition of Cark Luck appealing the response of the Town of Lunenburg (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 16, 2023, Mr. Luck requested the following records pertaining to the Town Board of Assessors (BOA) and Municipal Finance Services, LLC (MFS): [1.] …all data files provided to the BOA that resulted from the MFS contract from Lunenburg to inspect all lake front properties who requested abatements as a result of the 2023 tax assessment. Prior Appeal The requested records were the subject of a prior appeal. See SPR23/1897 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (August 23, 2023). The Town responded on August 22, 2023. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Luck petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1999, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response to Mr. Luck on August 31, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s August 23rd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Luck may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s August 31st response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
