A Phone Call Would Have Been Cheaper
Imagine my surprise when I finally found out who the certified letter was from.
After I returned from the Crystal Lake City Hall to pick up a DVD of the October 10th city council meeting when the Tax Increment Financing district proposals were made I saw it.
It was from the City of Crystal Lake.
City taxpayers paid $4.64 to send it to me.
It told me that the DVD I had requested was ready for pick-up.
After not having heard from the city maybe two days after I made the request I called to ask if it were ready.
It was, so I drove down to pick it up.
The cost was $5.
I did not file a Freedom of Information request to DVD. I left my phone number.
But, when I picked it up, I did file some Freedom of Information requests.
I wonder if the city will spend $4.46 to tell me when each of the requests have been fulfilled.
= = = = =
I imagine that there will be some smiles at city hall when they see I did not remember the name of Bill Cellini’s company. Instead of putting New Frontier on the request, I wrote “Fremont.”
