If this email is received by a multi-member public board, commission or committee please take care to never "respond to all" as you may inadvertently create a violation of the open meeting law.
In Massachusetts, the term "public record" is broadly defined to include all documentary materials or data created or received by any officer or employee of any governmental unit, regardless of physical form or characteristics, unless it falls under one of the statutory exemptions to the Public Records Law. G.L.c. 4, sec.7(26). Consequently, email is subject to the disclosure, retention, and maintenance provisions as required by law. G.L.c. 66

IMPORTANT NOTE: Board members cannot discuss upcoming or ongoing cases with the public outside of the public meeting. Attempting to email, phone or send mail to individual Board members to voice your opinion could potentially taint the outcome of the case, giving adequate cause for an appeal. If you cannot attend the meeting in person and wish to voice your opinion on a specific case, letters or emails addressed to the entire Board should be submitted to the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals office staff at the contact information above, prior to the scheduled meeting.
