FOIA Request to Village Of Camp Point regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Prairie State Wire to the Village Of Camp Point on February 1, 2026. The request seeks access to records concerning new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific details requested include the title of each contract or amendment, the names of contracting parties involved, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered. The request emphasizes that it is intended for gathering information of public interest for dissemination to the public and does not require the creation of new documents.
Prairie State Wire has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available. They have also requested a fee waiver as they are members of the media involved in reporting news to the public. In case any portion of this request is denied or withheld, they have asked for a specific statutory basis for such denial along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
This FOIA request is part of Prairie State Wire’s commitment to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency through comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. The organization is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
