John Saia v. Malden Redevelopment Authority (SPR 20201898)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 7, 2020 SPR20/1898 Deborah A. Burke Malden Redevelopment Authority 17 Pleasant Street, 3rd Floor Malden, MA 02148 Dear Ms. Burke: I have received the petition of John Saia appealing the nonresponse of the Malden Redevelopment Authority (Authority) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Saia requested certain environmental land records within the possession of the Authority. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Saia 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 Authority responded to Mr. Saia’s request with a response sent on October 6, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Authority’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Saia may appeal the substantive nature of the Authority’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: John Saia 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
