A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village of Creve Coeur by Prairie State Wire, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs. 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 limited to records that currently exist and does not necessitate the creation of new documents.
Prairie State Wire has requested these records in an electronic format if available. Additionally, they have expressed their eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
