FOIA Request to Village Of Fieldon 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 Fieldon 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 requested records include details such as the title of the contract or amendment, names of contracting parties, 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 existing records and does not necessitate the creation of new documents.
Prairie State Wire has requested these records in electronic format if available and has asked for a fee waiver due to their role as a media organization. They have also stated that if any part of the request is denied or withheld, they require a specific statutory basis for such denial along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
This FOIA request is made in alignment with Prairie State Wire’s commitment to gathering information of public interest for dissemination to the public.
