Stanley Mazurczyk v. Chelmsford, Town of - Town Clerk (SPR 20230093)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 1, 2023 SPR23/0093 Patricia E. Dzuris Public Records Compliance Officer Town of Chelmsford 50 Billerica Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Dear Ms. Dzuris: 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 December 20, 2022, Mr. Mazurczyk requested a “… copy of [named] officer cell phone usage (calls made/received) in the month of July, 2021. That information may be contained in the August, 2021 Verizon invoice.” The Town responded on December 29, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0093, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division senior attorney and a Town representative, it is my understanding that the Town intends on providing a further response to Mr. Mazurczyk. Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Mr. Mazurczyk with said response in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Regulations within 10 business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. 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 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Stanley Mazurczyk 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
