FOIA Request to City of Oakland Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Central Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
Our request is specifically focused on obtaining a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City of Oakland. The details we seek include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due.
As journalists, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill these professional responsibilities.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the City of Oakland and will continue to keep our readers updated on this matter.
