Public Information Request
FOIA is the state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), records in possession of public agencies may be accessed by the public upon written request.
The Village of Stanford provides the following ways to submit your public information request:
- You may submit a request in any written form, including by electronic mail, fax, or letter.
Please note that for a public information request to be valid, it must be submitted in writing to the City.
Fees Associated with FOIA:
The first 50 pages of black and white, legal or letter-sized copies of records requested are free. Anything that surpasses 50 pages is generally 15 cents per page. If, for some reason, copies of records are provided to a requester that is not on black and white, legal, or letter-sized paper, the Governor's office will charge a fee that will not exceed the actual cost of reproduction.
