FOIA Request to City Of Elgin Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Kane County Reporter have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City Of Elgin. The request, dated October 30, 2024, seeks detailed information about residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023 till the present date.
The specific details requested include the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address where the work is being done and the contractor's name. This information is sought for both new permits issued during this period as well as those that are currently active.
We believe that access to these public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver for this information.
Our mission at Kane County Reporter is to ensure that our readers are well-informed about their local government's activities. We will continue striving towards this goal by utilizing tools like FOIA requests to gain access to important public records.
