Morin Records Access Officer City of Springfield 36 Court Street, Room 210 Springfield, MA 01103 Dear Mr. Morin: I have received the petition of Patrick J. Mason appealing the nonresponse of the City of Springfield (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 24, 2024, Mr. Mason requested records related to “the street measurements pertaining to Parker Road and its relationship to the Walgreens at 1440 Boston Road.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Mason petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1926, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Mr. Mason with a response on July 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. Mr. Mason 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 J.
