FOIA Request to City Of Lawrenceville regarding vendor payment registers on November 10, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by East Central Reporter to the City Of Lawrenceville, Illinois, seeking access to specific financial records. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and is aimed at obtaining existing vendor payment registers for the period from January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025.
The requested records include detailed information such as the names of vendors paid by the city, dates and amounts of payments made, and descriptions or purposes of goods and services provided. The request emphasizes that it seeks only existing documents and does not require the creation of new records.
East Central Reporter is a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. As part of its mission to ensure transparency and accountability in public institutions, East Central Reporter has requested these records in an electronic format. The organization also seeks a fee waiver due to its role in disseminating information as a member of the media.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization based in Missouri that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition 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 both the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. Licensing supports animal control programs and ensures pets have correct vaccinations against 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.
