April 29, 2017 Opinion Piece:  THE DOORS TO CITY HALL
from a friend;
"Simply find out who is getting paid to install the new doors. With whom in government are they friends? To whom in government are they related? THERE'S 'yer trouble, (Medford Citizens!)  Follow the money.


Paul Mochi: "They're so beat up, so weathered...you can't restore them, especially...by the time you restore them...

Building Commissioner Paul F. Mochi stated publicly on April 26, 2017 at about 6:10 pm @ point 10:03 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjZ0T1-vvgk&feature=youtu.be that it is "not cost effective" to repair and keep the valuable doors to Medford City Hall.  

The citizens need to have all the facts regarding their property, and the work of public servants, public employees, who work for the citizens, not the other way around.


THE DOORS OF CITY HALL Citizens need to ask Mayor Burke - WHY ARE THEY ALLEGEDLY THROWING THEM AWAY?
PART 1 GO TO 9:45 minutes in I ask about the removal of the wooden doors! 14 minutes in Andy Castignetti also asks about the doors and notes that the Vatican repairs such artifacts and antiques.

Re: Massachusetts Public Records Request
      City Hall doors and repair work
  


Dear Keeper of the Records:



Building Commissioner Paul F. Mochi stated publicly on April 26, 2017 at about 6:10 pm @ point 10:03 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjZ0T1-vvgk&feature=youtu.be
that it is "not cost effective" to repair and keep the valuable doors to Medford City Hall.  The citizens need to have all the facts regarding their property, and the work of public servants, public employees, who work for the citizens, not the other way around.



This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided a copy of the following records:


1)Any and all documents providing information and estimates from the company installing the new doors at City Hall including e mails and notes to Medford City Hall and from Medford City Hall.

2)Any documents showing the payments to that company that was hired or payments that will be made to that company

3)The bid documents and postings in regard to the work now being performed or to be performed to the doors and reconstruction of city hall

4)The documents showing the value of the antique doors that building commissioner Paul F. Mochi stated on 4/26/17 would be removed


5)The documents providing weight of each door that is to be removed




6)The documents providing information on the value of the wood, the name of the wood, and the price that will be paid if the doors are sold


7)The documents providing information on how much money will be made from the sale of citizens' property during this repair period at city hall as well as the documents showing how those monies to be deposited in the "general fund" will be utilized


I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request, however, it is my opinion that this material should be posted on the city's website and be made available free of charge.
The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.
Sincerely,

Joe Viglione
