This is for IL,
I was told by City Council that all records prior to 1990 are closed as the council voted them closed in 1990. Therefore, a FOIA request will only get me open council minutes. I realize that votes after the closed session "should" show up in open session.
Question: Is what they did legal?
2. If we go into litigation with this body - could a lawyer request the closed records through the courts. It would stand to reason that if the government agency had closed session minutes that supported their claim of ownership of our building they would produce them. It would stand to reason that they would not show us close session minutes that support our claim of ownership unless required to.
