Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), you can request public records from any Darien city department. The clerk usually coordinates these requests. Most are processed within five business days. The first 50 pages of black-and-white copies are free, and electronic records may be sent at no charge depending on the format.
The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires local governments like Darien to maintain their public records properly. They cannot throw away records without following state rules about retention schedules. This means you can request old documents, past meeting minutes, and historical records that the city is required to keep on file.
If the city denies your FOIA request, they have to give you a written explanation. You can appeal the denial to the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Counselor.
