See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 20, 2023, Mr. Kerr requested “an emailed copy of all text messages and email messages sent by any and all City Employees on City Funded Phones/Computers or Any Communications made on any Private Phone/Computer by any City Employee made on City Time and or while they were being paid and actively working for the city Between January 15th of 2022 through June 15th of 2022.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Kerr petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0704, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Mr. Kerr with a response dated April 11, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kerr may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
