Summary
Dear Mr. Palmer, Under the Massachusetts Public Records Act § 66-10 et seq., I am requesting: - A copy of the municipality’s contracts with any and all firewall providers - The name, salary and resume of each employee working in IT for the municipality in 2019 - A copy of any cybersecurity audits of the municipality within the past 5 years - Copies of reimbursement forms for conferences/workshops about cybersecurity attended by municipal IT professionals in the last 5 years I prefer this data be sent to me in a machine-readable format. If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of cybersecurity efforts in this community.

My email address is jhinkle@wickedlocal.com and my phone number is 774-405-2896. If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law. Thank you for considering my request.
