FOIA Request to Highwood City Council Regarding Council Members' Details on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Lake County Gazette have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking information about the current members of the Highwood City Council in Illinois.
Our request includes details such as the names and titles of all council members, the year they were appointed, their term length (2 or 4 years), and when their term is set to expire. We believe that this information is essential for our reporting and will contribute significantly to public transparency regarding local government operations.
Given our role as a media organization in gathering and disseminating news to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver for this information. Our primary responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to these public records is crucial for us to fulfill these duties.
We await a response from the Highwood City Council and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
