FOIA Request Sent to Neoga City Council Regarding Council Members' Details on October 15, 2024

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Neoga City Council in Illinois on October 15, 2024. The request was made by us at East Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.

In the request, we asked for a list of all council members with specific details. The requested fields include each member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date.

As a media organization, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.

We continue to await a response from the Neoga City Council regarding this FOIA request.
