These documents were provided by the Village of Carpentersville in response to a FOIA request asking for information about the employment of Curt Borman, who currently works for the City of Urbana as an Assistant City Attorney while also serving as the City’s FOIA Officer. The records reveal that Curt Borman worked as an “Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Police” from January 2004 to March 2007. Included within the records are numerous letters of praise to Curt Borman from various police department officials, as well as his letter of resignation to the Carpentersville Chief of Police in March 2007 when he acquired his current position at the City of Urbana.
The FOIA request that yielded these documents read:
“I am requesting any and all records in regards to Borman’s hiring and employment, including salary information, applications, letters of reference, etc… Please include any letters that Carpentersville may have sent to Borman’s next employer (the City of Urbana, I believe). Please include any complaints that may have been issued against Borman.”
