To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I
hereby request the following records:

To whom it may concern,
Pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 66, Section 10, I'm
requesting all executive session minutes generated, by the Swansea 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 also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this
request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the
recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The
requested documents will be made available to the general public free of
charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed
by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of
news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for
screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read
print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for
example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that there are fees, 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.

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

Sincerely,

Caitlin Russell
