A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Amboy City Council in Illinois on October 15, 2024. The request, made by us at NW Illinois News, seeks comprehensive details about the council members serving in the city's government.
The information requested includes a list of all council members along with specific details such as their names, titles, the year they were appointed, their term length (2 or 4 years), and the date when their term expires. This data is crucial for our ongoing coverage of local governmental affairs.
As a media organization committed to providing accurate news coverage on local government matters, we believe that access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public.
We are confident that this information will provide valuable insights into the workings of the Amboy City Council and help foster a greater understanding among our readers about their local government representatives.
We have also requested a fee waiver as part of our role as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. We await a response from the Amboy City Council regarding this request.
