See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; See also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 25, 2023, Ms. Crowley requested “…a copy of the mulch storage permit issued to New Heights Builders for the property known as Romuva Park and the site of the alleged premier sports complex…” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Crowley petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1394, was opened as a result. Subsequently, a representative of the City provided a response on June 27, 2023 to Ms. Crowley’s request. Where the City provided a written response to Ms. Crowley’s request, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Crowley 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: Lisa Crowley Kayla J.
