FOIA Request to Town of Fremont regarding new or amended contracts on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Town of Fremont on February 1, 2026, by Old North News. The request seeks access to records concerning new contracts and amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific details requested include the title of each 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 seeks records that currently exist and does not require the creation of new documents. Additionally, if any part of the request is denied or withheld, a statutory basis for such denial is requested along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
Old North News has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format. As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, they have also requested a fee waiver based on their role in disseminating information and holding public institutions accountable.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests.
