A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Des Plaines regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by North Cook News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our request, we asked for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid. This list should include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due. We believe that access to these public records is essential for us at North Cook News to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities 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 requested a fee waiver for this information. We are committed to ensuring that the public has access to important information about their local government and its operations.
We will continue to keep you updated as we receive more information from the City of Des Plaines regarding this FOIA request.
