Kim Scanlon
Medford City Hall
85 Geo P Hassett Drive
Medford, MA 02155


RE: Public Records: City Hall Former Doors, Alden Chambers Wooden Chairs, curbstones from Ring Road


Dear Ms. Scanlon and/or Keeper of the Records:


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)all documents at city hall or any other area where Medford's city government and other agencies keep records, documents being notes, e mails, and other documents, regarding the removal of Medford property - specifically, documents describing or discussing the property owned by the citizens of Medford and what happened to the property owned by the citizens of Medford

a)Curbstones from the construction work on Ring Road

b)wooden seats in Alden Chambers 85 Geo. P. Hassett Drive, the wooden seating replaced by cheap, uncomfortable plastic chairs

c)the three doors at the entrance of city hall

2)documents detailing the amount of property referenced above

3)documents detailing the dollar value of the items noted above

4)documents detailing which person(s) or company (companies) are in possession of those items and what they paid for them, if anything

I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request. If you expect costs to exceed $10.00, please provide a detailed fee estimate, however as a journalist in this city I request that you waive the fee as this matter is of great public interest.

The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 calendar days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.



Sincerely,

Joe Viglione
