FOIA Request to Pitt County regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Old North News to Pitt County on February 1, 2026. The request seeks access to records related to new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The requested records include specific details such as the title of the contract or amendment, names of contracting parties, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered. The request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents.
Old North News has expressed its intent to use these records for public interest purposes. As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in local governmental affairs, they have requested a fee waiver due to their role in disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this organization can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
