The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords December 19, 2018 SPR18/1992 Joanne M. Roomey City of Salem 93 Washington Street Salem, MA 01970 Dear Ms. Roomey: I have received the petition of John Femino appealing the nonresponse of the City of Salem (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Femino requested "any permits or documentation related to the new and old heating systems for 80 Marg and lin St. Addition of approx. 2008 and 2018." Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Sullivan petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the proper agent for handling public record requests never saw the inquiry. Nonetheless, after the City was made aware of this appeal, a representative within the City noted their willingness to provide a response. Said response shall be made in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Access Regulations and this order. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Femino may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Supervisor of Records cc: John Femino One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma. us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma. us
