Records are essential to the administration of local government.
They contain the information that keeps government programs functioning.
It is the intent of this chapter that a records management program
and records management access be established which will assist officials
in making decisions, administering programs and providing administrative
continuity with past operations. The program is intended to document
the delivery of services, show the legal responsibilities of government
and protect the legal rights of citizens. It contains information
on taxation and on the management and expenditure of public funds.
These records will also document the historical development of government
itself, the community and the people of the Town.
A.
A records management program is hereby established under the aegis
of the Town Clerk and headed by the Records Management Officer (RMO).
The Town Clerk is designated as the Records Management Officer (RMO)
and is responsible for administering the current and archival public
records in storage areas for the Town in accordance with local, state
and federal laws and guidelines.
