Vanlue council schedules records commission meeting to comply with ORC 149.39
Summary
Councilmember Jeri Wenger reported on records work with the Ohio History Connection and scheduled a Records Commission meeting (required by Ohio Revised Code 149.39) 45 minutes before the April 28 council meeting to consider retention/disposal and RC-2 filings.
Councilmember Jeri Wenger told the Village Council she has been communicating with the Ohio History Connection about the village records policy and will attend a records meeting in Akron to review recordkeeping practices.
Wenger cited Ohio Revised Code 149.39, which requires municipalities to maintain a Records Commission consisting of the mayor, solicitor, fiscal officer and one public member; the commission must meet every six months. She said the village’s first Records Commission meeting will be held 45 minutes before the April 28, 2025 council meeting. Before records are disposed, an RC-2 form must be submitted to the Ohio History Connection for approval, she said.
The council discussed scheduling and compliance; the minutes record the plan to form the commission and follow the ORC process. The fiscal officer and council members will coordinate to ensure required RC-2 submissions precede any disposal actions.
