Communications

From: David Grogan

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

Complete vendor list showing name, address, Tax ID# and total amount paid for fiscal year 2012

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 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Grogan

Good Afternoon Mr. Grogan;

Attached, please find a copy of the requested document you sought in your Public Records request to the City of Springfield Public Schools dated May 2, 2014. Please note that the Tax ID column is blank as the system that maintains the rest of the records requested does not maintain Tax IDs. While Tax IDs are generally public records, it is not the duty of the Public Records custodian to create records. Social Security Numbers are exempt from disclosure and are therefore exempt from Public Records law.

Should you be aggrieved by this response, you may appeal to the Supervisor of Public Records in the Massachusetts Secretary of State's Office pursuant to 950 CMR 32.00 and G.L. c.66, §10(b).

Please contact me with any questions. My contact information is below.

Sincerely,

E. Rhett Towles, MS, Esq.
