Members of Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s administration met yesterday with the supervisor of public records for Secretary of State William F. Galvin and said they are continuing to look for e-mails that had been deleted by Menino’s policy chief and key political strategist, state officials said.
In an interview after the meeting, Galvin said that his office will continue to monitor the city’s effort and that he expects the city to produce more of mayoral aide Michael J. Kineavy’s electronic correspondence.
“I believe they’re cooperating, but we’re still waiting on some things,’’ Galvin said.
Galvin’s office had ordered the city to seize Kineavy’s hard drive and hire a computer forensics specialist to find the e-mails after the Globe reported two weeks ago that Kineavy routinely deleted e-mails in such a way that they were not saved on city backup servers. The report appeared after the newspaper requested six months’ worth of Kineavy’s e-mails, and city officials produced only 18 such messages.
State public records law requires municipal employees to save e-mail for at least two years, even when it has “no informational or evidential value.’’ Violations can result in fines up to $500 or prison sentences of up to one year.
