G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on September 30, 2020, Mr. DeLacey requested “all available records, including reports, consultant bills and invoices, email, correspondence, spreadsheets and the like, related to any soil testing related to Roosevelt Park going back to 2010.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. DeLacey petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR20/2026, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal by a staff member of the Public Records Division, the City has yet to provide a response with respect to Mr. DeLacey’s September 30, 2020 request.
