Municipal Records

Which records the city keeps, who keeps them, and for how long are defined under state law - and is a law that is regularly in motion. You may find it helpful when making a public records request to review the retention schedule to see what documents will be held and for how long under the law.

Also, if you are a municipal employee or volunteer, it's also a good idea to check in and find out what documents you may be responsible for maintaining by virtue of your position (IMPORTANT: If you are using your personal email for public business, you are potentially opening up your personal emails to review by a legal authority in regards to any public records request).

Record retention schedules by department are listed first. Below you can find links to the statutory requirements.
