FOIA Request to Zion City Council Regarding Detailed Information on Council Members 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) to the Zion City Council.
Our request specifically seeks an electronic format list of all council members, complete with their names, titles, years of appointment, term lengths (2 or 4 years), and term expiry dates. This information is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe that access to such public records is crucial. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as part of our role in disseminating this information.
We look forward to the Zion City Council's cooperation in this matter and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
