FOIA Request Sent to City of Columbia Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024

FOIA Request to City of Columbia Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.

In our continuous efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Illinois News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Columbia. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and seeks access to specific public records.

The requested records include a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction. We asked for detailed information such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due.

As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe that access to these records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. This information will enable us to provide our readers with an informed perspective on how parking regulations are enforced in the City of Columbia and shed light on any potential issues or trends.

We have also requested a fee waiver for this information as a media professional engaged in disseminating information to the public. We eagerly await a response from the City of Columbia and will continue to keep our readers updated on this matter.
