The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 2, 2024 SPR24/2110 Carol Moore City Clerk City of Newton 1000 Commonwealth Avenue Newton Centre, MA 02459 Dear Ms. Moore: I have received the petition of Mike Offner appealing the response of the City of Newton (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 16, 2024, Mr. Offner requested, “[1] Provision via email to me of all 2023 Library Art Committee meeting agendas and minutes. [2] Provision via email to me of names of all 2023 members of the Library Art Committee.” The City provided a response on July 22, 2024. Unsatisfied with the City’s response, Mr. Offner petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2110, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided a supplemental response on August 2, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s July 22nd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Offner may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response August 2nd within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Carol Moore 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
