FOIA Request to City of Kewanee Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Rock Island Today have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Kewanee.
Our request pertains specifically to unpaid parking violations within the city. We have asked for a list of all such violations that are currently outstanding. This list should include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due overall.
Access to public records is essential for us in fulfilling 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 media professionals.
We await a response from the City of Kewanee and will keep our readers updated with any developments. As always, we remain committed to shining a light on important local issues and keeping our community informed.
