FOIA Request to Sandusky County Regarding Public Records from January to October 2024 on October 7, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Vacationland Times have sent a request for public records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., to Sandusky County. The request was made on October 7, 2024.
The records we seek include a list of FOIA logs that were sent to the county from January 1, 2024, till October 7, 2024. We are particularly interested in the following fields: Requester Name, Requester Organization, Request Content, Request Date, Request Complete Date, and FOIA Status.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that given our role in disseminating information, we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. We eagerly await the county's response and will continue our efforts in promoting transparency within local government.
