Summary
From: Francis J. Goode Jr. <goodejr33@verizon.net> Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2021 5:07 PM To: Crocker-Timmins, Virginia <vtimmins@chelmsfordma.gov> Cc: Cohen, Paul <pcohen@chelmsfordma.gov> Subject: public records request   Select Board Chair Timmins,     I have recently received several responses to my last public records request. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding as to the records I am requesting. In an attempt to alleviate the confusion and clarify what I am looking for I will be using a different request format. I will now be making my request in a question format.  As I am sure you as well as all RAO's including SRAO (Super Records Access Officer) Dzuris and town counsel are aware that an RAO is not required by the Public Records Law to answer questions or create a record in response to a request; however, an RAO must provide any records that exist that respond to a question.      That being said, please consider this email my new Public Records Request.   1.   What is Mr. Cohen's compensation and benefits beginning 7/1/21?  To clarify this question further, How much money will he be paid?  What are all the benefits will he be receiving including those that do not have a monetary value? So I am clear, ANY and ALL benefits that have a value to him in any fashion or manner as the employee. Should there be any further confusion over what  defines a "benefit" in this matter I would be more than happy to speak with you.   2.    Who determined what compensation and benefits Mr. Cohen would receive beginning 7/1/21?   3.    How was this determination made? What was the basis for this determination? What was the guiding information that was used to make this determination? If this was based on law please provide the statute under the law or the applicable case law that supports the determination that was used.     After receiving some of the previous public records which included Munis reports, it is clear that Mr. Cohen no longer receives his $600 car stipend since 7/1/21.   4.   How and by whom was the accounting/payroll department notified to remove said payments?  Please provide this communication and any supporting documentation or files that Munis may have  created by making that change.      I hope this new public records request his helpful in clarifying which public records I am still requesting.     Please provide my response within the timeframe required under the Public Record's Law. Thank You.   Respectfully Submitted, Francis J Goode Jr Please see attached document.
