Parker council adopts state-record retention schedules
Summary
Council adopted the Texas State Library and Archives Commission record-retention schedules to standardize municipal records management.
The Parker City Council adopted resolutions on July 1 to accept the Texas State Library and Archives Commission record-retention schedules for municipal records management.
City Secretary Patty Scott Gray presented the matter and recommended council adopt the state schedules to guide how long the city keeps different categories of records. Council Member Billy Brown moved adoption; a second was recorded and the council approved the resolution.
Council discussed the logistics of implementation and staff described past shredding events and ongoing records management activities. Staff said they will implement retention schedules, continue periodic shredding of disposable records and work to catalog permanent records so they are accessible to staff.
The adoption directs staff to follow the state schedules; the city secretary will coordinate schedule implementation and periodic purging of outdated records per the adopted timetable.
