See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 24, 2026, Ms. Ebbert requested “…digital copies of any and all communications sent between January 1, 2022 and the date of this request between the Everett City Council, Mayor’s Office, all city departments, boards and commissions to any U.S. Attorney’s office and FBI office in response to a federal subpoena.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Ebbert petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR26/1066, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the City has provided a response. Accordingly, the City is ordered to provide Ms. Ebbert with a response to her request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Ebbert may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
