Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Powell petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2895, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a response to Mr. Powell on October 28, 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. Powell may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s October 28th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Andrew Powell
