Requests for Public Records
The Village of Alsip Administrative Procedures for Compliance with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act provide for comprehensive procedures, instructions, and forms for obtaining Municipal public records. This website provides only a brief summary of the FOIA procedures and requirements.
All requests to inspect, copy, or certify public records must be submitted to the Village of Alsip in writing. Request forms may be obtained from the Village of Alsip. The Village will respond to each proper written request to inspect, copy, or certify public records within five working days after receipt of the request. If a request is for commercial purpose, the Village will respond within 21 days after receipt of the request. A commercial request is a request in which the requester seeks to use all or part of the record for the sale, resale, or solicitation or advertisement of services. It is illegal for a requester to obtain a record for a commercial purpose without making this disclosure.
Copies of public records will be provided at no fee for the first 50 black and white standard-sized copies. The fee for additional copies is 15¢ per page. Actual cost will be charged for copies of documents not of standard size, and for the recording medium (e.g, compact disk, tape, DVD), when applicable. There is a $1.00 fee for certification of copies.
The Village may waive or reduce fees if the person requesting the records states the specific purpose for the request and indicates that a waiver or reduction of fees is in the public interest.
All notices and other communications relating to a request to inspect, copy, or certify public records, and all requests for any other information relating to the Village of Alsip’s procedures for compliance with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act must be directed to:
