Dear Ms. Quist: 
I have received the petition of George Anzunoi appealing the nonresponse of the Town of
Winthrop (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R.
32.08(1). On December 11, 2023, Mr. Anzunoi requested “… a copy of Chapter 17 of the Town
of Winthrop Zoning or ordinances.” 
Claiming to not yet have responsive records, Mr. Anzunoi petitioned this office and this
appeal, SPR24/0045, was opened as a result. 
Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Anzunoi with a response dated
December 18, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written
response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Anzunoi may appeal the
substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 
Sincerely, 
Manza Arthur 
Supervisor of Records
