FOIA Request to City of Nauvoo regarding city employees list on August 21, 2025.

A request was submitted to the City of Nauvoo under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by a representative from West Central Reporter. The request seeks detailed information about all city employees, including their full names, sex, race, job titles, departments or divisions, annual salaries or hourly rates, and hire/start dates. This information is requested in an electronic format to facilitate reporting and analysis.

The request emphasizes the role of media in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. It also mentions that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. This coalition supports news media companies and public advocacy groups in uncovering government actions for public awareness.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets, like dogs, and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.

We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
