FOIA Request to Chrisman City Council Regarding Detailed Information of All Council Members on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Central Reporter have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Chrisman City Council in Illinois.
The request, dated October 15, 2024, seeks access to records pertaining to all current council members. The specific information requested includes each member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (whether two or four years), and the date their term expires.
As a media organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency for the public. Access to such public records is crucial for us to fulfill these professional responsibilities.
We are hopeful that our request will be granted promptly and without fees as we qualify for a fee waiver being a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public.
We will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency in local government affairs and keep our readers updated with the latest developments.
