O’Boyle [e-mail to: records@commerce-group.com] Re: GS #2812-7 (Request for Public Records Related to Martin O'Boyle Criminal Case) Request for Public Records Related to Martin O’Boyle Criminal Case 7. All text messages caused or instructed to be sent by Scott Morgan since January 1, 2013. Dear Martin E. O’Boyle [e-mail to: meo@commerce-group.com]: Thank you for your public records request made on August 31, 2020. On September 17, 2020, the Town responded further as follows: This subpart of your request has not identified the records sought with sufficient specificity to permit the Town to identify the records sought. Specifically, there is no way to determine upon the review of a record if that record was “caused or instructed to be sent by” a specific person. If you are seeking specific records that you can more clearly identify, please identify the records with sufficient specificity to permit the Town to identify those records you are seeking. Based on our understanding, although there is no way to determine upon the review of a record whether a record was “caused or instructed to be sent by” Mayor Scott Morgan, records responsive to subpart 7 of your request will also be responsive to subpart 8 and included in that estimate. On October 16, 2020, you responded through your Attorney as follows: This request is not limited to any category of information. This asks for all text messages that Mayor Morgan directed to be sent and will require conferring with individuals of the Town to ascertain which messages are responsive. The original request can be found at the following link: https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=173216&repo=r-430100cc Subpart seven of your request can be found at the following link: https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=173670&repo=r-430100cc Pursuant to your request, the Town has conferred with individuals of the Town to determine whether the Mayor has asked them to send any text messages. No employees could remember that instruction being given, however there are instances where the Town discusses the content of Code Red messages (which has a text message component) with the Mayor. Much like his role as discussing litigation with attorneys, the Town does not believe discussing these messages would be responsive to your request as they are not “directed to be sent” by the Mayor. As a courtesy, you are being provided with copies of the Code Red texts. While following your Attorney’s instruction, the Town still asks that if you are seeking specific records that you can more clearly identify, please identify those record with sufficient specificity to permit the Town to identify those records you are seeking. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine all records, upon the review of a record, whether the record was ‘caused or instructed to be sent by’ a specific person. The Town has responded to your request for information as best we could. If the Town does not receive clarification from you within 30 days of this letter, we will consider this request closed.
