A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Marshall City Council on October 15, 2024. The request was made by East Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of all council members with specific fields. These fields include the name of each council member, their title, the year they were appointed, their term length (either two or four years), and the date when their term expires.
As representatives of East Central Reporter, we believe that 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 have requested a fee waiver as media professionals.
We look forward to receiving this information from the Marshall City Council and will continue our efforts in reporting local governmental affairs accurately and comprehensively.
