FOIA Request to Anna City Council Regarding Information on Council Members on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Southern Illinois News have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking information in electronic format about the current members of the Anna City Council.
The specific details requested include the names and titles of all council members, along with their respective years of appointment. Additionally, we are interested in understanding the length of each member's term (whether it is two or four years) and when each term is set to expire.
Our role as a media organization involves 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 a media professional.
We will continue to update our readers as more information becomes available.
