A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Delavan regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by us at Peoria Standard, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The records requested under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, preferably in electronic format, include a list of all parking violations currently unpaid. This list should include the name of the offender, 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 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 look forward to receiving this information from the City of Delavan as it will greatly aid our ongoing efforts to keep the public informed about important local matters.
