To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:
Stenographic Record of the last 4 Public Meetings of Boston City Council that hard of hearing/deaf folks can read.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Don Warner Saklad

Hi !
Please send the Stenographic Records of Public Meetings of Boston City Council including March 25, 2015 and April 1, 2015 and after...
Is there an ADA requirement that the records be available in a format compatible with text to speech screenreaders for visually impaired folks?
__________ ____________________

City Council will forward you the files. Under the state's public records
law, the city is responsible for providing documents unless an exemption
