§ 2-175. Destruction of records.

(a)

Scheduled records. A record whose retention period has expired on a records control schedule shall be destroyed unless an open records request is pending on the record, the subject matter of the record is pertinent to a pending law suit, or the department head requests in writing to the record management officer that the record be retained for an additional period. Prior to the destruction of a record under an approved records control schedule, authorization for the destruction must be obtained by the records management officer from the city council.

(b)

Unscheduled records. A record that has not yet been listed on an approved records control schedule may be destroyed if its destruction has been approved in the same manner as a record destroyed under an approved schedule and the records management officer has submitted to and received back from the director and librarian an approved destruction authorization request.
