FOIA Request to Town Of Rolesville regarding new or amended contracts on February 1, 2026.
The East Wake Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Town Of Rolesville, North Carolina. The request seeks access to records concerning new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month. This inquiry was made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1.
The requested documents include several specific details: the title of each contract or amendment, names of contracting parties involved, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered by these agreements. The request emphasizes that it seeks only records that currently exist and does not require the creation of new documents.
The East Wake Times is pursuing this information as part of its mission to gather news of public interest for dissemination. As a member of the media, they are seeking a fee waiver due to their role in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency. Additionally, if any portion of this request is denied or withheld, they have asked for the specific statutory basis for such denial along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
This request is also supported by The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
