2. Purpose
The purposes of this resolution are as follows:
To assure that public records are not destroyed while

To avoid the loss of room and shelf space caused by the
retention of public records which no longer serve a

approval for each individual case of public records
destruction.
Scope
This Resolution is limited to originals of public

this section. The department heads are authorized to
establish rules or schedules for the destruction of
copies of public records held within their respective
departments which are not originals or copies subject to
subsection B of this section.
Whenever the original of a public record is sent to a
location outside the custody of the City (as, for
example, correspondence from a City officer or employee
to a person outside of the City government), one copy of
that record shall be retained by the department sending
the record as if it were the original of that record.
This resolution is also limited to public records which
are in the form of writing on paper or microfilm or
microfiche.
Authorization for destruction of records
Those exhibits, designated A through M, attached hereto,
providing retention schedules for various t!rpes of

herein. Subject to the provision of subsection B of
this section, each department head may authorize the
destruction of a public record or class of public
records which is within the custody of his or her
department and which is listed in the exhibits at any
time after the time specified for retention of that
record in the exhibits has expired. The Department Head
477
RESOLUTION NO. 98-088
PAGE 3 OF 3
may require the retention of any public record or class
of public records beyond the period established for the
retention of such records by the exhibits to this
resolution, whenever, in his or her opinion, the
continued maintenance of such records is in the best
interest of the City. No record shall be destroyed
without the written consent of the City Attorney.
Prior to authorizing the destruction of any public
record, the department head shall submit a list of the
records proposed for destruction to the City Attorney
for his or her consent to such destruction. This
resolution constitutes the consent of the City Council
for the destruction of the public records in accordance
with such retention schedules, and no further resolution
