FOIA Request to City of Waverly Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The requested records pertain specifically to all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City of Waverly. We have asked for detailed information including the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of each violation, and the total amount due overall.
As a media organization, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We believe that as media professionals disseminating information to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver in this regard.
We await a response from the City of Waverly and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
