The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 16, 2022 SPR22/2086 Ashley E. Melnik Records Access Officer City of Revere 281 Broadway Revere, MA 02151 Dear Ms. Melnik: I have received the petition of Paul F. Zerola, Esq. appealing the nonresponse of the City of Revere to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 23, 2022, Attorney Zerola requested numerous records regarding fire incident reports. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Zerola petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2086, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Attorney Zerola with a response dated September 15, 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. Attorney Zerola may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Paul F. Zerola, Esq.
