FOIA Request to Highland Park City Council Regarding Detailed Information on Current Council Members on October 15, 2024.
In our continuous efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Lake County Gazette have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent electronically to the Highland Park City Council on October 15, 2024.
The information requested includes a list of all current council members with specific details such as their names, titles, years of appointment, term lengths (2 or 4 years), and term expiry dates. This information is crucial in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. 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 important information from the Highland Park City Council in order to continue providing our readers with accurate and comprehensive coverage of local government affairs.
