FOIA Request Sent to Kewanee City Council Regarding Council Members' Information on October 15, 2024

FOIA Request to Kewanee City Council Regarding Comprehensive Information on All Council Members on October 15, 2024.

In a bid to uphold transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at Rock Island Today have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Kewanee City Council. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.

Our request seeks comprehensive information about all council members. Specifically, we are interested in obtaining the following details: each member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date. We believe that this information is vital for our ongoing coverage of local governmental affairs.

As a media organization committed to providing accurate news coverage on local government activities, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We aim to ensure that public institutions remain accountable and transparent by reporting accurate information to the public.

We have requested that these records be provided in an electronic format for ease of dissemination. In line with our role as a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have also sought a fee waiver for this request.

We will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency within public institutions and look forward to receiving the requested information from the Kewanee City Council promptly.
