FOIA Request to City of Anna regarding employee overtime records on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the City of Anna, Illinois, by Southern Illinois News. The request seeks access to specific records related to employee overtime for the immediately preceding calendar month. The information requested includes the name and job title of employees, their department or office, dates and number of overtime hours worked, and the compensation paid for this overtime.
The request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. Southern Illinois News has asked for these records in electronic format if available. Additionally, they have requested a fee waiver due to their role as a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets, like dogs, and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.
