A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the St. Elmo City Council in Illinois on October 15, 2024. The request was made by South Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In the pursuit of transparency and accountability, we at South Central Reporter requested a list of all council members with specific details attached. The information requested includes each council member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date.
As a media organization dedicated to reporting local government affairs, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. This includes holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that as a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We eagerly await the response from the St. Elmo City Council as we continue our mission to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage for our readers.
