Murray Supervisor of Records July 6, 2022 SPR22/1523 Seah Levy Public Records Access Officer City of Cambridge 795 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 Dear Ms. Levy: I have received the petition of John Hawkinson appealing the nonresponse of the City of Cambridge (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 15, 2022, Mr. Hawkinson requested various records regarding a City Planning Board meeting. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Hawkinson petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1523, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Mr. Hawkinson with a response dated July 5, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hawkinson 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.
