Freedom Of Information Act Requests

Please note the following regarding the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA):

  • The new law changes the time for response to five business days.
  • An extension of five business days is permitted under various circumstances.
  • Those submitting a request for a commercial purpose must identify that purpose or be subject to statutory penalties. The Park District then has a reasonable period (up to 21 days) considering the size and complexity of the request to make them available.
  • The request must be submitted in writing (although the use of a particular form is no longer required). A form is available for your convenience below.
  • The Park District may provide records in an electronic format and must do so if available in such format and requested in that format.
  • Fees are not charged for the first fifty (50) pages of standard black and white copies. After the first 50 pages, the fee for black and white copies is $.15 per page unless the actual reproduction costs (for color or oversized copies, for example) are higher. A fee equal to the actual cost may be charged for such copies.
