It is the policy of the City of Rochelle to fill all requests for public documents in accordance with state law. Most requests will be processed within 5 days. However, if the requests require coordination with outside contractors, research or are unusually large, the City will request additional time to respond within the time period allowed by law. Requests of a commercial nature are subject to different regulations which extend the response time permitted by law. It is the policy of the City to ensure that all requests are properly and promptly completed.
