Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The County of Clay works to maintain transparent processes and open communications with the community. Clay County has approximately 75 full time employees and 25 part time employees; with FY2014 proposed appropriations budget of $10,113,865. As part of that effort, a variety of information is available on the county’s website as well as in departmental offices. We work to maintain compliance with the newly updated Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which outlines how public organizations and their communities should share information.
