To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 66, Section 10, I'm requesting a list of applicants (name, city, and state) for the following previously filled positions for the Town of Blackstone:
Chief of Police (2019)
Interim Town Administrator (2020)
Town Administrator (2021)

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, in either PDF or Microsoft Word so it will be easily searchable.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,
Erik S.

To Whom It May Concern:

I also wanted to add that if any information such as resumes and cover letters are available for the applicants, could you include those as well with any personal information redacted?

Thank you and I look forward to your response,
Erik S.

Good afternoon: I found a file for the Acting Town Administrator and put it on a spreadsheet for you. It is attached. I have called MRI to see if they have a list of applicants for the appointment of the Town Administrator and I am looking for the file on Police Chief. Thank you. Dori Vecchio

From: Erik Sorenson

Thank you for your quick response with the file. I look forward to hearing back once you have compiled the remaining files.

Sincerely,
Erik S.

From: Blackstone Town Administrator

Good afternoon: the names of the six finalists for the Town Administrator jobs are as follows:

Brian Noble
Patrick Shield
Mark Ullucci
Joseph Layden
David Marciello
Dori Vecchio

The interviews are on the TOB website at: Castus VOD Widget<https://blackstone.vod.castus.tv/vod>
Search for 5/12/20 and 5/13/20.

I do not have the list of full candidates that applied for that position because they never were given to the Town of Blackstone. The TOB hired MRI Inc. to manage the hiring of the Town Administrator.

Thank you, Dori Vecchio

From: Erik Sorenson

Thanks for the follow up. I am in no rush, I know you mentioned you reached out to the firm you used for the applicant list and I can certainly wait until the respond.

Thanks for your help,
Erik S.
