A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Paris City Council 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.
The request sought information regarding the 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 their term expires.
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, which 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.
We await the response from Paris City Council regarding this request. We continue to work towards providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs for our readers.
