A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the East Moline City Council in Illinois on October 15, 2024. The request was made by Rock Island Today, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request seeks a list of all council members with specific details. These details include each member's name, title, year appointed, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date. This information is essential for Rock Island Today's reporting as it allows us to provide transparency to the public about their elected officials.
As part of our commitment to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we at Rock Island Today believe that access to these public records is crucial. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We look forward to receiving this information from the East Moline City Council and will continue our work in delivering comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
