FOIA Request to Village of Lisle regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village of Lisle by DuPage Policy Journal, seeking 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 request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.

The requested records include details such as the title of the 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 purpose of this request is to gather information that is in the public interest for dissemination.

The FOIA request specifies that it seeks only existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. In case any portion of this request is denied or withheld, DuPage Policy Journal has asked for a specific statutory basis for denial and requests that all reasonably segregable portions be released. The organization also mentions its eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional due to its role in gathering and reporting news.

The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
