The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 6, 2025 SPR25/0579 Adrian Walleigh, Esq. Legal Counsel Records Access Officer Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities 110 Cambridge Street, Suite 300 Boston, MA 02114 Dear Attorney Walleigh: I have received the petition of Colman Herman appealing the nonresponse of the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (Office) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 5, 2025, Mr. Herman requested “a copy of the agreement with the Edward Davis Company.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/0579, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Mr. Herman with a response on March 3, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Colman Herman 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
