FOIA Request to City of Anna regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.
A request for information was sent to the City of Anna under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act by Southern Illinois News. The request sought access to records related to new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific details requested included the title of each contract or amendment, names of contracting parties, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered. The request emphasized that it was limited to existing records and did not require the creation of new documents.
Southern Illinois News requested this information in electronic format if available. They also asked for a fee waiver based on their role as a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. The organization highlighted its membership in The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
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.
