Public Records Responsiveness

At a glance

What: a resident, Hudson, told Council on May 28, 2026 that the Town's response to her public records request said certain records from the requested period were incomplete or unavailable because of the Town's 2024 cyber incident, which she set against the Town's March 30 statement that stolen information had been secured with the FBI.
Where it stands: no Council response is recorded. She had submitted a follow-up request on May 14 asking how many requests could not be fulfilled and had received only an acknowledgment on May 15.
Next: none recorded.

Hudson thanked Town Clerk Coleman for fulfilling her earlier request about three days after she spoke on April 14, then read the email's wording that the limits "are not the result of withholding" but of the condition of records after the incident. She asked whether the Town actually has the data or it is still missing.
She described a pattern of residents filing more records requests and speaking about what they notice, and warned that scrutiny will increase if statements do not align.
Two other residents, Keith Wood and Dawn Cozzolino, also referred to records requests (on yard waste and the audit) in their remarks.
