FOIA Request to City of Elmhurst Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the DuPage Policy Journal have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent electronically to the City of Elmhurst on October 28, 2024.
The information requested includes a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction. Specific details requested include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due.
As an organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to our readership. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue our pursuit of transparency and accountability from public institutions and look forward to sharing this information with our readers once it becomes available.
