Specifically, the records requested include the names of vendors paid by the county, the dates and amounts of these payments, and descriptions of the goods or services purchased.
The request emphasizes that it applies only to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. The preferred format for receiving this information is electronic if available. This approach aligns with Rock Island Today's commitment to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
