   A.   Retention periods to be included in records schedules shall be submitted by the City Clerk to the City Attorney, who shall notify the City Clerk within ten (10) working days of the 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 by the City Council via resolution and shall have full force as sufficient authorization for records destruction or other action. If objection is made, the City Clerk shall determine a retention period satisfactory to the office or department concerned and the City Attorney.

   B.   When a records retention and disposition schedule is adopted by resolution, it shall thenceforth constitute full authority to transfer, microfilm, image, prepare for destruction, or take other actions, with respect to City records. The City Council hereby directs that such action be taken by the City Clerk. The City Clerk shall notify in writing the department, State Historical Society, and the City Council of intended destruction, as required by law. (1952 Code § 1-23-10; amd. Ord. 5-26, 3-10-2026)
