| Locality | ATTN: FOIA Officer Chicago Department of Procurement Services  June 2, 2022 Dear FOIA Officer:  Please consider this a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act on behalf of the Better Government Association.  Records showing any and all contracts into which the Community Safety Coordination Center has entered since Jan. 1, 2021, as well as any awards or grants the Center has made to outside groups. If contracts, awards or grants were issued by other city agencies on behalf of the Center, please include records of those as well. For each contract, award or grant, please provide the contract number or specification, the award amount, award date, vendor name and purpose of commodity or service.  We believe all the records are public. We seek them as part of research by the media intended to enlighten the public on the activities of public officials.    If your agency believes any parts of any records are exempt from disclosure, please provide us with an explanation to justify the redaction or withholding, and then provide the rest of the records. Please note that statute does not allow your agency to withhold documents in their entirety if only parts of the records may be exempt.   We are doing research in the public interest and request fees be waived. Please call me if you believe this request will cost more than $50 to fulfill or if you have any questions.   Thank you,  Dan Hinkel / Investigative reporter Better Government Association Office: 312-404-1997 Email: dhinkel@bettergov.org |
