A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Nauvoo, Illinois, on October 28, 2024. The request pertains to all currently unpaid parking violations within the city's jurisdiction.
As a media organization committed to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Reporter have requested these records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We have asked for this information in an electronic format for ease of analysis and reporting.
The specific details requested include a list of all parking violations that remain unpaid at present. This list should contain the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due from each individual.
Our role as a media outlet is crucial in gathering and disseminating news to the public. Access to public records such as these allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to our readership.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional under FOIA regulations. We await a response from the City of Nauvoo regarding this request and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
