§ 2-133. Development of retention and disposition.

(a)

Retention periods to be included in records schedules shall be submitted by the city secretary to the city finance officer and city attorney, who shall notify the city secretary within ten (10) working days of his approval or of any objection to a retention period. At the expiration of the ten (10) day period, if no objection has been submitted, the records schedule shall be adopted and shall have full force as sufficient authorization for records destruction or other action. If objection is made, the city secretary shall determine a retention period satisfactory to the office or department concerned, to the finance office, and to the city attorney.

(b)

When a records retention and disposition schedule is adopted, it shall thenceforth constitute full authority to destroy, transfer, or take other actions, and the city council hereby directs that such action be taken by the city secretary or under her supervision. The city secretary shall notify the state librarian of intended destruction, as required by law, but no further notice to the city council or other city office shall be required. Revision of retention periods shall be submitted for review to the city attorney and city finance officer in the same manner as the original retention periods.
