The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Office Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records June 1, 2023 SPR23/1118 Seah Levy Public Records Access Officer City of Cambridge Office of the City Solicitor 795 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 Dear Ms. Levy: I have received the petition of Patrick O’Donnell appealing the response 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 March 25, 2023, Mr. O’Donnell requested, “incident and/or motor vehicle crash report(s)” regarding a specified incident. The City responded on April 27, 2023. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. O’Donnell petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1118 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided a further response on June 1, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s April 27th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. O’Donnell 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: Patrick O’Donnell Andrea Carrillo-Rhoads 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
