Requests by the public for Township documents and records are guided by the “Freedom of Information Act” (FOIA). Any request from the public to the Township for Township documents and records through FOIA must be made in writing.
A written FOIA request can be handed directly to the Makanda Township Supervisor, sent by email, or sent through regular mail. A suggested format is provided below.
- Emailed FOIA requests should be sent to the Supervisor and Clerk email addresses listed on the Officials page.
- Mailed FOIA requests should be sent to the Makanda Township office:

A written request for Township documents and records must specify as completely and thoroughly as possible the types of documents and records desired and, if applicable or known, the dates or time periods of those documents.
