See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 10, 2023 Mr. Mazurczyk stated: This is a request for records. Attached please find the response dated December 21, 2022 from [the Town] provided in response to SPR22/2829….It’s unclear how many incoming/outgoing calls; [1] involve the same individual(s), [2] were made during business hours are personal, [3] were made during business hours are juvenile offender related, [4] were made on weekends or outside business hours are juvenile offender related, [5] were made on weekends or outside business hours are personal. This information wasn’t provided to assess if fee estimate is reasonable. It doesn’t require redaction or segregation. It should be noted that during FY2021 and FY2022 there were zero (0) Juvenile Arrests in the Town (see attached police statistics). These statistics don’t support [an identified individual’s] claim that most of her incoming/outgoing calls are juvenile offender related. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0840, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Town has provided a response. As such, the Town is ordered to provide Mr. Mazurczyk with a response to his request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. Mr. Mazurczyk may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
