Hello Ms. Dennison,
Thank you for patiently taking the time to speak with me and for suggesting a more effective channel for obtaining records of interest to me.
Pursuant to the Maine Freedom of Access Act ("FOAA"), I hereby request the following records:
• The minutes for all meetings of the Board of Selectmen from January 2013 to the present day.
• The minutes for any town meetings held in the last five years.
• The annual town report from the last five years.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com. They will be processed by a representative of the news media/press and are intended for news gathering and not for commercial purposes.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
As the statute dictates a response to this request within 10 business days, I hope to hear from you soon and really appreciate your help and cooperation.
All the best,
Beryl Lipton

The minutes can be emailed to you as soon as I get them scanned in (Is this the correct email address to send them to?). The annual town reports will have to be mailed to you and I will let you know the cost of postage.
