The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 30, 2024 SPR24/2702 Jeanmarie Tarara Holbrook Town Clerk 50 North Franklin Street Holbrook, MA 02343 Dear Ms. Tarara: I have received the petition of Rita Gill-McCarthy appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Holbrook (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 3, 2024, Ms. Gill-McCarthy requested “. . . copies of all Cease and Desist letters and/or Stop Work Orders issued by the plumbing inspector for . . . Holbrook Court, Holbrook, MA around August 29, 2024.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Gill-McCarthy petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2702, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Ms. Gill-McCarthy with a response on September 30, 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. Ms. Gill-McCarthy 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: Rita Gill-McCarthy 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
