FOIA Request to City of Atlanta regarding a list of city employees on August 21, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Sangamon Sun to the City of Atlanta, Illinois, seeking detailed records concerning city employees. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and aims to obtain the information in an electronic format.
The requested records include a comprehensive list of all city employees with specific details such as full name, sex, race, job title, department or division, annual salary or hourly rate if applicable, and hire/start date. This information is sought to aid in reporting on local governmental affairs and ensuring transparency within public institutions.
Sangamon Sun emphasizes its role in providing accurate news coverage and holding public institutions accountable. The organization has requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request due to its status as a media entity engaged in disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More details about this coalition can be found on their website.
In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets like dogs and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.
