FOIA Request to Town of Stantonsburg regarding new or amended contracts on February 1, 2026.
A request for information was sent to the Town of Stantonsburg under the North Carolina Public Records Law by Rocky Mount Today. The request seeks access to records concerning new contracts and amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The requested records include several specific details: 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 request emphasizes that it seeks only existing records and does not require the creation of new documents.
Rocky Mount Today has requested these records in electronic format if available. They have also asked for a fee waiver as they are members of the media engaged in gathering and reporting news to the public. In case any part of this request is denied, they have asked for an explanation citing specific statutory reasons for denial while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information laws. More information about this organization can be found on their website at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
