Council upholds city FOIA coordinator’s decision after attorney review
Summary
Greenville City Council voted unanimously to uphold the city’s Freedom of Information Act denial, citing the City Attorney’s April 14, 2026, letter and indicating no further action was required; the transcript does not identify the requester or the records at issue.
Greenville City Council voted to uphold the determination of the City’s FOIA Coordinator and to take no further action on an appeal of a FOIA denial. Councilperson Seppala moved the measure, Councilperson Johnson seconded, and the motion was adopted unanimously.
The council’s action referenced a City Attorney letter dated April 14, 2026, as the stated basis for the decision. The transcript records no details about the appeal’s requester, the specific records at issue, or the rationale contained in the attorney’s letter beyond the council’s citation of that letter.
Because the transcript does not include the FOIA requester’s name or the subject of the request, the record does not provide grounds to summarize the underlying dispute beyond the council’s decision to uphold the FOIA Coordinator’s determination.
