FOIA Request to Office of Lisle Village President regarding law firm contracts and invoices on June 18, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Office of Lisle Village President by a representative from the DuPage Policy Journal. The request seeks access to public records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, specifically asking for all copies of contracts with the village's law firms and all invoices submitted by these law firms over the past six months. The requester has asked for this information in electronic format.
The request highlights the role of media in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. It also mentions that as a member of the media, they are seeking a fee waiver due to their professional responsibilities in gathering and reporting news. Additionally, it is noted that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
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.
