FOIA Request to City Of Knoxville Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Galesburg Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140).
The requested information pertains specifically to all parking violations within the city that currently remain unpaid. The details sought include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of violation, and the total amount due.
As a media organization, our role involves gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is vital in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for our readership. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await response from the City Of Knoxville and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
