FOIA Request to Village of New Milford regarding new contracts or amendments on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Rockford Sun to the Village of New Milford 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 request specifically asks for details including 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 intention behind this request is to gather information of public interest for dissemination to the public. It emphasizes that the request is limited to records that currently exist and does not require the creation of new documents.
Rockford Sun has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available. Additionally, they have requested a fee waiver based on their role as a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting news media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
