FOIA Request to Earlville City Council Regarding Detailed Information of All Council Members on October 15, 2024.
In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Illinois Valley Times have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent to the Earlville City Council seeking detailed information about all council members.
The requested information includes the name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date for each council member. This data is crucial for our ongoing coverage of local government activities and will aid in holding public institutions accountable while providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization committed to disseminating important information to the public, we believe that access to such records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also stated our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in gathering and reporting news.
We await a response from the Earlville City Council and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
