FOI Requests Filed in Cambridge

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm a journalist working on a possible piece about Freedom of Information Law.

Pursuant to the state Freedom of Information Act, G.L.M. c.4, €7, clause 26th, I hereby request copies of records on Freedom of Information Act filings in the City of Cambridge. Specifically, I am looking for:

Documentation on how many requests were filed in 2009.
The resolution (approved, denied) of those requests.
The names of the requesting individuals and/or organizations.

Ideally, I would like the cover-letter responses by the City of Somerville to FOIL requests submitted in 2009, which I believe would include all of the above information. I agree to pay reasonable search and duplication fees for the processing of this request in an amount not to exceed $10.

In the event that fees do exceed $10, 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, but hard copies are acceptable if more convenient.

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,

Michael Morisy
