Andrew Quemere v. Haverhill, City of - City Clerk (SPR 20201566)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 2, 2020 SPR20/1566 Laurie A. Brown Records Clerk Haverhill Police Department 40 Bailey Blvd. Haverhill, MA 01830 Dear Ms. Brown: I have received the petition of Mr. Andrew Quemere appealing the nonresponse of the City of Haverhill (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on August 14, 2020, Mr. Quemere requested “[a]ll audits of the police department's overtime system from 2010 to the present.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Quemere 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 City provided Mr. Quemere with a response to his request on August 20, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of response to Mr. Quemere’s request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Quemere may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Andrew Quemere 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
