Kyle G. Christensen v. Pittsfield, City of - Police Department (SPR 20221514)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records July 14, 2022 SPR22/1569 William J. Doyle, Esq. Records Access Officer Office of the General Counsel Massachusetts Department of Transportation 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Joan Beckta appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Transportation (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 6, 2022, Ms. Beckta requested “… any and all data, e.g.[,] a report that the Better Bus Bureau referred to at both the 5/19/22 and 6/8/22 meetings.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Beckta petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1569, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Beckta with a response dated July 11, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Beckta may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Ms. Joan P. Beckta 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
