[2.] The resumes of the four finalists provided to the Screening Committee for the Town Manager position[.] Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Loreti petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1784, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Loreti with a response on June 20, 2024. Where 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. Loreti may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s June 20th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
