The Records Management department, under the Board of Commissioners, provides records management services to all County offices and departments. It provides guidance and service in the systematic analysis and control of how records are created, utilized, retained, stored, retrieved and ultimately disposed of, in an orderly and efficient flow of information. The department insures that records retention schedules are followed by County officials, to guarantee the preservation of permanently valuable records, and to dispose of records that are no longer needed for administrative, legal or fiscal purposes.
