FOIA Request to Burbank City Council Regarding Comprehensive Information on Council Members on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Cook News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Burbank City Council in Illinois.
The request, dated October 15, 2024, seeks detailed information about all current council members. Specifically, we have asked for the following details: each member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (whether it is two or four years), and the date their term expires.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We await a response from the Burbank City Council and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
