FOIA Request to City of Berwyn regarding a list of city employees on August 21, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by West Cook News to the City of Berwyn on August 21, 2025. The request seeks detailed information about all city employees. Specifically, the media organization is asking for a list that includes each employee's full name, sex, race, job title, department or division, annual salary or hourly rate if applicable, and hire or start date.
West Cook News emphasizes the importance of access to public records in fulfilling its role as a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in local governmental affairs. The requestor also mentions their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating government actions through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website.
In Illinois, regulations such as the Illinois Animal Welfare Act ensure that pet owners comply with licensing requirements for certain pets like dogs. These licenses support animal control and health programs by ensuring pets are vaccinated against diseases like rabies.
West Cook News has requested that the information be provided in an electronic format and has applied for a fee waiver based on their status as a media professional.
