ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

Originally adopted in 1990, the City’s Records Management Ordinance has not kept pace with the evolving needs of municipal operations, particularly in areas related to digital records and modern retention practices.  The proposed ordinance marks a substantial update to Lewisville’s records management framework, bringing it in line with current best practices.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
