As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at McLean County Times have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
Our request specifically seeks a list of all council members within the Pontiac City Council. The information requested includes each member's name, title, year appointed, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date. This data is essential for our reporting as it allows us to provide our readers with a clear picture of their city council's composition and tenure.
As an organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We believe that as media professionals, we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request.
We await a response from the Pontiac City Council and will keep our readers updated on any developments. As always, we remain committed to delivering accurate and timely information about local government affairs.
