The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The request seeks a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction. Specifically, we have asked for details including the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due.
