Dissemination of Information
A. Realizing that it is in the best interest of a municipality to have informed representatives
making decisions based on all available information, and that it is in the best interest of a
municipality to have an informed electorate, the following have been enacted:
1. The aldermen of the United City of Yorkville, together and independently, have the right
to request and receive existing information relating to all areas of City business from any
appropriate city official or appropriate employee. Such information should be received
by the alderman or aldermen making the request within five working days after the
request has been made.
Any employee, official or department head who refuses to comply with the request for
information, or willfully obstructs or retards the dissemination of such information, will
be found to be derelict in his or her duties, and may face disciplinary action or
termination.
2. The Corporate Authorities as a body have the sole right to determine what information
will be made available to the public, based on the Illinois Freedom of Information Act as
interpreted by the Attorney General of the State of Illinois.
