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

A request has been made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act by South Central Reporter, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs. The request seeks a comprehensive list of all employees working for Greenville City. The information requested includes each employee's full name, sex, race, job title, department or division, annual salary (or hourly rate if applicable), and hire/start date. The requester prefers this data in an electronic format.

The request was sent on August 21, 2025, and emphasizes the importance of access to public records for media professionals. It highlights the role of journalists in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. In light of these responsibilities, South Central Reporter is seeking a fee waiver as they are involved in disseminating information to the public.

The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization based in Missouri that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. This coalition aims to enhance transparency and inform the American electorate about government actions. More details about their mission can be found on their website.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets like dogs and comply with state and local regulations as defined by the Illinois Animal Welfare Act. These licenses support animal control and health programs while ensuring pets receive necessary vaccinations against diseases such as 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.
