FOIA Request to City of Chrisman Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As a part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Central Reporter have requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking information in electronic format concerning all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City of Chrisman.
The specifics we've asked for include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These 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 look forward to collaborating with the City of Chrisman in ensuring that this information is made available promptly and accurately.
