FOIA Request to City of Fairfield 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 SE Illinois News have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The request specifically seeks a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City of Fairfield. This includes the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a media organization, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals. We await a response from the City of Fairfield regarding this request and will continue to update our readers as more information becomes available.
