Board approves resolution authorizing disposition of specified public records
Summary
The board adopted a resolution authorizing disposal of specified municipal records in accordance with the retention and disposition schedule for Pennsylvania municipalities (07/16/1993; amended 12/16/2008); roll-call votes were all yes.
The township manager presented a drafted resolution, advertised for public hearing, that lists storage boxes and their contents recommended for disposition under the retention and disposition schedule for records of Pennsylvania municipalities (issued 07/16/1993 and amended 12/16/2008).
Staff explained the process: departments recommend records for disposal, a review team evaluates the items against the state retention manual and the Pennsylvania Historical Commission guidelines, and the board adopts a resolution authorizing disposition. The manager and assistant manager confirmed that items on the current list slated for disposition were not digitized and that certain categories of digitized records can also be disposed of per the guidance.
The public hearing was opened and closed with no public speakers in the room. The manager then called the roll for consideration; Chair Thompson, Vice Chair Patterson, Supervisor Stevens, Supervisor Heller and Supervisor Strickland each voted "Yes." The resolution passed unanimously and staff will proceed with disposition procedures consistent with the state manual and local records-retention practice.
