The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records April 8, 2024 SPR24/1034 Timothy J. Cruise Records Access Officer City of Brockton Brockton City Hall 45 School Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Mr. Cruise: I have received the petition of Lisa Crowley appealing the nonresponse of the City of Brockton (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 18, 2024, Ms. Crowley requested “…a copy of the license to operate a truck repair shop and any other documentation, including but not limited to, any past or present applications for operating permits or licenses at [an identified location].” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Crowley petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1034, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Ms. Crowley with a response on April 8, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will now 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 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
