FOIA Request to City of Oak Forest Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024. As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Cook News have requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
Our request specifically seeks a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city. This includes the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due. These details are essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe that access to such public records is vital. Therefore, we have also asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue to follow up on this matter and keep our readers informed about any developments. We believe that such transparency is key in maintaining trust between government institutions and the citizens they serve.
Should there be any questions regarding our request, we are open for discussion with the relevant authorities at City of Oak Forest.
