FOIA Request to City of Red Bud Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Illinois News have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
Our request specifically seeks information about all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City of Red Bud. We have asked for these records in an electronic format and expect them to include details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to these public records is crucial. This information will not only aid us in fulfilling our professional responsibilities but also ensure that our readers are well-informed about local issues.
We are hopeful that our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional will be considered favorably. We await further communication from the City Clerk's office regarding this matter.
