The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records April 17, 2025 SPR25/0981 Holly A. Young Interim Town Administrator Town of Templeton 160 Patriots Road East Templeton, MA 01438 Dear Ms. Young: I have received the petition of Timothy Toth appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Templeton (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 6, 2025, Mr. Toth requested “[t]he Assistant Town Administrator job description, Screening/Selection Committee, applicant list, and the dates/locations of all postings made to applicable job seeker websites.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Toth petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/0981, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Toth with a response on April 17, 2025. 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. Toth 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: Timothy Toth 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
