These documents were provided by the City of Urbana in response to a FOIA request which asked for:
“Any and all records related to the recent decision by the Urbana Police Department to purchase riot helmets and gas masks. This should include any emails related to the planned purchase. This should also include any bids that the UPD has received in regards to the RFP posted on the City website.”
The City provided 74 pages of documents which appear to be almost entirely emails. Much of the 74 pages repeat the same emails over and over, so there may only be about 20-30 pages of actual records within the package. It should be noted that this FOIA request was submitted before the riot gear bidding process was complete, so more responsive records likely exist.
