Thomas Henry v. Framingham, City of - Housing Authority (SPR 20240071)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records January 18, 2024 SPR24/0071 Janet Bibo Executive Assistant Framingham Housing Authority 1 John J Brady Drive Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Bibo: I have received the petition of Attorney Thomas Henry appealing the response of the Framingham Housing Authority (Authority) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 18, 2023, Attorney Henry requested: [1.] Any and all certified payrolls that you are in possession of from any contractors performing roofing, drywall, and windows for the [Carlson Crossing Housing West Modernization]. [2.] Copy of the wage assignment sheet. [3.] Copy of any or all clerk logs or daily reports submitted. Prior Appeal This request was the subject of a prior appeal. See SPR23/2969 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (December 21, 2023). In my December 21st determination, I found that it was unclear what exemption under the Public Records Law the Authority was claiming to withhold portions of the requested records from disclosure. The Authority provided a response on December 27, 2023. Unsatisfied with the response, Attorney Henry petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/0071, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Authority provided further responses on January 10 and January 16, 2024. In an email to this office on January 16, 2024, Attorney Henry stated, “[p]lease be advised that Framingham Housing Authority has satisfied [the] information request in the above cited matter…” Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed.
