The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records July 10, 2024 SPR24/1936 Colleen M. Mejia, Esq. City Solicitor City of Everett 484 Broadway Everett, MA 02149-3694 Dear Attorney Mejia: I have received the petition of Joan P. Beckta appealing the nonresponse of the City of Everett (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 18, 2024, Ms. Beckta requested, “a copy of the plans for the waterfront . . .” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Beckta petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1936, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Ms. Beckta with a response on July 9, 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. Beckta may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s July 9th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Joan P.
