FOIA Request to Village of Spring Grove regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.
The McHenry Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Village of Spring Grove, Illinois. The request, sent on February 1, 2026, seeks access to records related to new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific records requested 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 records that currently exist and does not require the creation of new documents.
As a member of the news media committed to providing comprehensive coverage on local governmental affairs, we at McHenry Times are seeking these records for public interest purposes. We have requested that any denied portions be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for denial and have asked for all reasonably segregable portions of the records to be released. Furthermore, we have expressed our willingness to receive these records in electronic format if available.
In addition to being part of McHenry Times, we are affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy. This non-profit organization assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests. More information about this coalition can be found at this link.
Our team will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news related to this request and other matters of public interest. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification regarding this matter.
