FOIA Request to City of Grafton regarding city employees list on August 21, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Metro East Sun to the City of Grafton on August 21, 2025. The request seeks a comprehensive list of all city employees, detailing their full names, sex, race, job titles, departments or divisions, annual salaries (or hourly rates), and hire/start dates. This information is requested under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for receiving it in electronic format.
Metro East Sun emphasizes its role as a media organization dedicated to delivering accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. The request highlights the importance of access to public records for media professionals in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. The organization has also requested a fee waiver due to its status as a media entity.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation based in Missouri. This coalition aids news media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through the use of Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets, like dogs, and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.
