General Information
In compliance with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, the Warrenville Park District provides the following information to assist citizens who ask for access to records authorized under the act.
The request for access to public records must be made in writing. A written request does not have to be made on a standard form, though the Warrenville Park District does provide a link to a Freedom of Information Act request form below or you pick up a copy at the Park District’s Administration Office at 3S260 Warren Avenue, Warrenville, IL 60555. You may submit your written request in person or via mail, fax or email.
When submitting your written request, please be as specific as possible. The Freedom of Information Act is designed to allow you to receive and/or inspect copies of records. It is not designed to require a public body to answer questions.
When a written request for records has been submitted, the Park District must provide access to those records and/or copies of them within five (5) business days. Under certain circumstances, this time limit may be extended for five (5) more business days. Notice of this five (5) day extension must be sent to the person requesting the records.
Please indicate if your request is for a commercial purpose. If so, the Park District must provide access to the records and/or copies of them within twenty-one days. (It is a violation of the Act for a person to knowingly obtain a public record for a commercial purpose without disclosing that it is for a commercial purpose.)
Please let us know if you would like a copy of the requested records or if you would like to examine the records in person at 3S260 Warren Avenue, Warrenville, IL 60555.
There is no fee for up to 50 pages of standard paper copies. For more than 50 copies, there is a fee of .15 cents per page. You are permitted to ask for a waiver of copying fees. To do so, please include the following statement on your written request, “I request a waiver of all fees associated with this request.” You must include a specific explanation as to why your request for information merits a fee waiver.
Please include your full name, telephone number(s), mailing address, and/or e-mail address with your request.
