Public Records Information
On June 3, 2016, Governor Baker signed An Act to Improve Public Records into law. This act requires municipalities to designate one or more Records Access Officers (RAO) who shall be responsible for:
- coordinating the Town's response to requests for access to public records
- assisting individuals seeking public records in identifying the records requested
- assisting the custodian of records in preserving public records
- preparing guidelines that enable requestors to make informed requests
Town Clerk Betsy Sheeran is Wakefield's primary RAO.
