FOIA Request to Auburn City Council Regarding Council Members' Information on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Sangamon Sun have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request is for a list of all council members with specific details such as their names, titles, years of appointment, term lengths (2 or 4 years), and term expiry dates.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We believe that given our role in disseminating information, we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format from the Auburn City Council.
