See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 9, 2022, Mr. Fitzgerald requested “…a copy of the three (3) zoom meeting tapes received by Mayor Carlo DeMaria on or about March 28, 2022. Also include in this request, any response forwarded to the sender of those tapes.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Fitzgerald petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1475, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the City has provided a response. As such, the City is ordered to provide Mr. Fitzgerald with a response to his request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. Mr. Fitzgerald may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
