Request #2023-0005 (Chelmsford, MA - Public Works)

Request for public records made to Town of Chelmsford by Stanley Mazurczyk.

Agency
Town of Chelmsford
Summary
This is request for records under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10).   I’m absolutely convinced Mr. Cohen, Town manager, is responsible for misuse of funds, dysfunction and incompetence of his administration. Case in point, Annual Recycling & Solid Waste Guide (Guide), https://www.townofchelmsford.us/DocumentCenter/View/14405/yearly-Flyer-2022-2023. Town documents its initial release to be June 30, 2022. Subsequent modification to it maintains the same date. That’s deceptive and inexcusable. Why aren’t Guide changes dated and preserved for the record? Initial mailing I received via US mail had schedule as depicted in the attachment, Yearly Flyer 2022-2023_v1. Updated schedule also arrived via US mail in December of 2022, Yearly Flyer 2022-2023_v2. Both present incorrect scheduled pickup day(s). That resulted in garbage remaining on the street for numerous days and attracted animals to disperse it. All versions of the Guide don’t recognize January 2, 2023 as an observed holiday, see Holidays 2023 2024. Unexpectedly garbage collection occurred on January 2, 2023 in spite of being recognized by the Town as “observed holiday”.   Please provide capital investment Town incurred to produce the Guide and subsequent modifications. Cost to produce in hours and dollars of original Guide, December 2022 correction, and final version. Print and postage expenses.   Let me know immediately if you require clarification to process this request within timeframe allowed by the Public Records Law.   Sincerely, Stanley Mazurczyk  SW&R Original Flyer:  $4,997.18 (includes postage), plus 8 hours of Sustainability Manager’s time, an additional $334.08 SW&R Postcard with Correction: $4,511.80 (includes postage) plus 1 hour of Sustainability Manager’s time, an additional $41.76
