These records show the City of Urbana violating the FOIA by applying exemptions falsely. The Illinois Attorney General ruled (PAC 59241) that Urbana illegally denied records. Human Resources Director Todd Rent handled the response and issued the denial, which was ultimately ruled unlawful. Urbana eventually provided records, 6 months after the initial. The provided records still had heavy redactions, and an additional determination is still pending as of September 2020 (14 months after the initial FOIA request).
