FOIA Request to Christopher City Council Regarding Detailed Information of Council Members on October 15, 2024.
As part of our commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at North Egypt News have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking information about the members of the Christopher City Council in an electronic format.
The details requested include each council member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (whether it is two or four years), and term expiration date. This information is vital for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities as journalists, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that access to public records is essential for our work. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we consider ourselves eligible for a fee waiver. We look forward to receiving this information from the Christopher City Council as soon as possible.
Should there be any questions regarding our request, we are open for discussion. We remain committed to serving our audience with reliable news about their local government.
