Galvin statement on City Hall e-mails

I am satisfied that all records from Mr. Kineavy’s two hard drives, the City’s enterprise vault and the City’s servers that were capable of being recovered have been recovered using reasonable means available.

Secretary of State William F. Galvin

The Supervisor of Records will continue to work with the City to assign retention periods to the recovered records based on the content of each record and the Supervisor is satisfied that the City has implemented new policies and procedures to prevent the deletion of records in the future.

After a review of the recovered records, it is clear that some records were deleted inappropriately and without permission. It is the jurisdiction of the Attorney General’s office to make a determination whether there has been a violation of law.

The Supervisor will forward his findings to the Office of the Attorney General for their review and will continue to work with that office as needed. This will conclude the Supervisor of Records’ review of this matter.
