Steve Douillette v. Quincy, City of - Office of the City Clerk (SPR 20241410)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records May 16, 2024 SPR24/1410 Brenda G. Fernandez Public Records Coordinator City of Quincy Office of the City Clerk 1305 Hancock Street Quincy, MA 02169 Dear Ms. Fernandez: I have received the petition of Steve Douillette appealing the response of the City of Quincy (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 7, 2024, Mr. Douillette requested “the full names of the 7 individuals with permission to manage the … official City of Quincy Facebook Page.” The City responded on May 1, 2024, indicating the request was forwarded to the Mayor’s Office. Unsatisfied with the City’s response, Mr. Douillette petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1410, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided a supplemental response to Mr. Douillette’s request by email on May 13, 2024. As this appeal was opened based on the City’s May 1st response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. If unresolved issues remain, Mr. Douillette may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s May 13th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Steve Douillette 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
