Requests by the public for Township documents and records are guided by the Illinois “Freedom of Information Act” (FOIA). All FOIA requests from the public to the Township for Township documents and records must be made in writing.
A written FOIA request can either be sent by email to frazierg3@gmail.com, or sent through regular mail. A mailed FOIA request should be sent to the FOIA officer at 313 Eiler Rd., Belleville, IL 62223.
A written request for Township documents and records must specify as completely and thoroughly as possible the types of documents and records desired and, if applicable or known, the dates or time periods of those documents.
Also include appropriate contact information including name, mailing and email addresses, and phone number.
Any requests that exceed 50 pages may incur a cost of $0.15 per additional pages in black and white. Color copies or oversized (larger than 8.5 x 11 inches) may involve a greater fee equivalent to the actual commercial cost of reproduction. 5 ILCS 140/6(b)
