Jacquelyn Wehtje v. Fitchburg, City of (SPR 20242402)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 23, 2024 SPR24/2402 Joanne Bilotta-Simeone Records Access Officer City of Fitchburg 718 Main Street Fitchburg, MA 01420 Dear Ms. Bilotta-Simeone: I have received the petition of Jacquelyn Wehtje appealing the nonresponse of the City of Fitchburg (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 8, 2024, Ms. Wehtje requested “memos, correspondence, and any other documents including attachments pertaining to the food and milk inspection function or its personnel between the Health Department and the City Solicitor” from July 1, 2024 to present. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Wehtje petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2402, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Ms. Wehtje with a response on August 23, 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. It is my understanding that Ms. Wehjte has appealed the City’s August 23, 2024 response resulting in a new appeal which is currently opened as SPR24/2412. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Jacquelyn Wehtje 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
