FOIA Request to Town of Seagrove regarding new or amended contracts on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Pinehurst Today to the Town of Seagrove on February 1, 2026. The request seeks access to records related to new contracts and amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific details requested include the title of each 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 is limited to records that currently exist and does not require the creation of new documents. Pinehurst Today has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available.
The request also includes a provision for transparency in case any portion is denied or withheld. It asks for the specific statutory basis for any denial and requests that all reasonably segregable portions of the records be released. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news, Pinehurst Today seeks a fee waiver due to its role in disseminating information and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information laws.
