FOIA Request to Town of Roxobel regarding vendor payment registers on February 1, 2026.
A request for public records was submitted to the Town of Roxobel under the North Carolina Public Records Law by Old North News. The request seeks access to the town’s vendor payment register for the immediately preceding calendar month. This includes details such as the names of vendors paid by the city, dates and amounts of payments, and descriptions of goods or services purchased.
The request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. It also specifies a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available. Additionally, Old North News has requested a fee waiver based on their role as a media organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public.
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 Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
