These documents show a FOIA appeal to the PAC and the resulting determination that METCAD violated FOIA. The original request to METCAD was for documents and audio related to the April 10 2020 arrest of Aleyah Lewis. METCAD denied the request but the PAC overruled. However, METCAD never complied with the PAC’s determination.
METCAD serves multiple local public bodies, including Urbana, Champaign, and the U of I. Mayor Diane Marlin and Chief Bryant Seraphin sit on the METCAD Policy Board. A copy of the the latest METCAD Policy Board meeting minutes is also included in the document set to show the makeup of the board. This document is not related to the FOIA appeal.
