FOIA Request to City of Shelbyville regarding a list of city employees on August 21, 2025.

The East Central Reporter has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Shelbyville. The request seeks detailed information about all city employees, including their full names, sex, race, job titles, departments or divisions, annual salaries or hourly rates if applicable, and hire or start dates. This request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.

The request emphasizes the importance of accessing public records for media professionals to fulfill their role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. As such, the East Central Reporter has requested that this information be provided in an electronic format and has also sought a fee waiver due to its status as a media organization.

The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization based in Missouri. This coalition aids news media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies by utilizing Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More details about this organization can be found on their website.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets like dogs and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.

We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
