During the Jan. 20 meeting the board noted several Freedom of Information Act requests received by the district. On Nov. 17, 2025 Althea A. requested records of money spent by board members attending conferences (including hotels); that FOIA was recorded as satisfied. Althea A. also requested surveillance footage and reconvene recordings for Oct. 21 and Nov. 18, 2025; those requests were recorded as satisfied. A SmartProcure request for purchasing records (Jan. 5, 2026) was satisfied; a Painters District Council #14 request (Jan. 6, 2026) seeking paint purchase records over $1,000 in the past five years remained pending at the time of the meeting.
Why it matters: FOIA requests relate to public transparency about district spending and recordings; the pending painters’ request may require further records retrieval.
Next steps: the district FOIA custodian will continue processing the pending request and maintain records of satisfied requests as required by law.
