FOIA Request to City of Highland Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Metro East Sun have sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to the City of Highland. The request, dated October 28, 2024, seeks a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction.
The requested information includes specific details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due. This data is essential in our pursuit of holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for our readers.
As media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe that access to such public records is vital for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver for this information under our eligibility as a media organization.
We will continue to follow up on this request and provide updates as they become available.
