Anne McKinnon v. Boston, City of - Police Department (SPR 20210992)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records May 4, 2021 SPR21/0992 Shawn A. Williams, Esq. Director of Public Records City of Boston 1 City Hall Plaza, Room 615 Boston, MA 02201 Dear Attorney Williams: I have received the petition of Anne McKinnon appealing the nonresponse of the City of Boston (City) to her request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. McKinnon requested bidding documents for a police bike contract. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. McKinnon petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the City responded to Ms. McKinnon’s request with a response sent on April 30, 2021. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. McKinnon 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: Anne McKinnon 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
