Records Disposal Certificate
In order for a public body to dispose of records, it is necessary to go through a formal
procedure. Application must be made through the Local Records Commission in Springfield
under established guidelines. Included for review is a listing prepared by the Business Office
of items qualifying for destruction. These documents are currently stored in the archives
room, located in the south wing of the Aptakisic building. To make room for additional
records every year, it is necessary to discard some qualifying records. With the Board’s
permission, we would like to ask for a formal motion on February 9 to proceed with the
permanent disposal of these records.
