FOIA Request to City of Wood Dale regarding new or amended contracts on December 9, 2025.

The DuPage Policy Journal has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Wood Dale, Illinois. The request seeks access to records of any new contracts or contract amendments executed by the city, village, or township from January 1, 2025, through March 31, 2025. Specifically, the request focuses on contracts related to public works projects, technology services, and consulting or professional services.

The FOIA request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not necessitate the creation of new documents. The requester prefers electronic copies if they are available. This inquiry is part of the DuPage Policy Journal's commitment to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs and ensuring transparency in public institutions.

The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this organization can be found on their website.

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.

We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
