To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on July 10, 2016. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Caitlin Russell
To whom it may concern,
Pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 66, Section 10, I'm requesting all executive session minutes generated, by the Acushnet Board of Selectmen for the years 2010 through the of end 2015.
Massachusetts law requires that executive session minutes be reviewed and released regularly, and that once the stated purpose for a particular executive session has ended, the minutes of the executive sessions are to be made public. Once released, I plan to make the information available to the public online, free of charge.
Please be advised that denial of this request, or redactions made to released materials must be accompanied by citations of the exemptions you believe allow you to withhold the information requested.
I'm requesting that any fees be waived, as I believe the release of these materials is in the public interest, however, if fees cannot be waived, I ask that you include a good faith estimate of the anticipated fees in your response. I also request that the materials be provided electronically in an email attachment, or if that is not possible, on a CD-ROM. If neither of these options are available, I'd be happy to receive the documents via snail mail, or come to your municipal offices in person to pick them up.
If you are in need of any further clarification regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at 774-634-6176 with your questions. If I do not pick up, please leave me a voicemail and I will be sure to get back to you. Thank you for your attention to this request.
Sincerely,
Caitlin Russell

To whom it may concern:
I'm appealing the Town of Acushnet's decision not to respond with documents I've requested under the Massachusetts Public Records Law. After requesting the information on Aug. 5, 2016, I was informed by Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen Lisa Leonard that she would need "a few days," to fill the request on Aug. 8. On Aug. 24 I received another email from Ms. Leonard stating that she had been sick, but was still working on my request. As of Oct. 6, I have not received any responsive documents, and my last two follow up email to Ms. Leonard have been ignored. This is effectively a denial of my request, and I'm appealing that denial, and asking that the Supervisor order the Town of Acushnet to review and release executive session minutes for the Board of Selectmen for all meetings that occurred from 2010-2015.
