Stanley Mazurczyk v. Chelmsford, Town of - Chief Assessor (SPR 20221176)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 2, 2022 SPR22/1176 Frank Reen Chief Assessor Town of Chelmsford 50 Billerica Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Dear Mr. Reen: I have received the petition of Stanley Mazurczyk appealing the response of the Town of Chelmsford (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, §10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 16, 2022, Mr. Mazurczyk requested. “… all other records Board of Assessors (Board) relied on to deny my application for abatement [and] records of such scrutiny imposed on other Town of Chelmsford taxpayers that filed abatement applications from FY2019 to date.” The Town responded on May 17, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1176, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and a Town representative, it is my understanding the Town intends on providing a subsequent response to Mr. Mazurczyk. Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Mr. Mazurczyk with a response to his request in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within ten (10) business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Mazurczyk may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 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
