Retention and Disposition Schedules

To: All holders of the Municipal Records Retention Manual, 2008 edition

In light of the operation of the new Right To Know law, it has been necessary to review the Municipal Records Retention Manual to provide current and correct guidance. Other necessary changes have also been identified. As a consequence, the Local Government Records Committee met July 23, 2009 and approved four changes to the manual.

The series which have changed are AL-24, AL-43, and ES-1. AL-46 has been added.

If you are maintaining the Manual in electronic form, download the updated manual (PDF, 950 KB) from this website and delete the old file.

If you have printed the Manual, download and print the “change notice” (PDF, 255 KB) and replace the Table of Contents, Administrative and Legal and Emergency Services chapters, and the Index.
