Board authorizes application for $75,000 state records-management grant
Summary
The board authorized Resolution No. 12 to apply for a New York State Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) grant of $75,000 to inventory and manage town records and train departmental record coordinators and part-time clerks.
The board voted to authorize an application for a New York State LGRMIF records-management grant of $75,000 to inventory inactive records, train two part-time records clerks and implement LGS-1 retention schedules across 11 departments.
Deanna (records management officer, speaker 7) described the consultant-led work: inventory inactive records, create department-level retention schedules, and train department record coordinators so that departments can sustainably manage retention and destruction documentation. She said the town currently has approximately 2,074 cubic feet of records in storage and only 186 cubic feet of remaining space for new records, making an inventory and consolidation a near-term need.
Chair said the grant has no matching requirement and urged support. The board moved and approved the resolution to apply. "This grant would allow us to engage with a consultant that could help train record clerks to inventory the inactive records that we have amongst our 11 departments," Deanna said.
