Council adopts updated records‑management program, repeals 2009 ordinance

Council considered and approved an updated records‑management program intended to bring the city into compliance with state law. The agenda described the action as "repeal ordinance number 441‑2009 and adopting an updated records management program and policy in compliance with state law and the city charter." A council member asked why the change would allow some updates without council approval; staff said changes mandated by state law would be implemented and that other, non‑mandated changes would come back to council.
