TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JUNE 5, 2008
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Request Authority to Dispose of District Records
Body
Dear Sir:
The regulations of the Local Records Commission of Cook County (Commission) provide for continuing authority to destroy records after specified periods of time or the occurrence of specified events. An agency’s records custodian may request this continuing authority by submitting to the Commission schedules of public records that are neither needed in the transaction of current business nor have sufficient administrative, legal or fiscal value to warrant their future preservation.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners approve for disposal the departmental records listed on the attached document. Upon receipt of Board approval, the list will be presented to the Commission for review and approval, pursuant to 50 ILCS 20/6 and 7; and following Commission approval, the records will be destroyed in accordance with the approved schedule.
Requested, Jacqueline Torres, Director of Finance/Clerk, JT:ms
Respectfully Submitted, Gloria Alitto Majewski, Chairman Committee on Finance
ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this June 5, 2008. Approved Terrence J. O’Brien
