The Illinois state government website connects to local and county agencies and can help you figure out whether your issue is a city, county, or state matter.

FOIA and Public Records Access

Loves Park follows the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) for public records access. The City Clerk processes all FOIA requests. You can submit a request by mail, in person at City Hall, or by email. The city has five business days to respond under state law.

Phone directories, employee rosters, department contact lists, and meeting minutes are all public records. You have the right to get copies. Most simple requests come at no charge. If your request covers a large number of documents, there may be a per-page copying fee. The clerk's office at 815-654-5034 can give you a cost estimate before processing your request.

The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires the city to maintain and preserve official records. This includes all phone directories and internal contact sheets. Archived records are still available on request. The law is clear that public records belong to the public, and the city clerk is the gatekeeper who makes sure that access stays open.
