What is the Council's Public Records Policy?
It is the policy of the Cleveland City Council to fully comply with and abide by both the spirit and the letter of Ohio's Public Records Act.
A “record” is defined to include a paper or electronic document - including but not limited to email and text messages – that is created, received by, or comes under the jurisdiction of a public office like the Council and that documents the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of that office.
A “public record” is a “record” that is being kept by this office at the time a public records request is made, subject to applicable exemptions from disclosure under Ohio or federal law. All public records must be organized and maintained in such a way that they can be made available for inspection and copying.
Read the entire Public Records Policy.
What is the Council's Record Retention Policy?
Council's Record Retention Policy adheres to the Ohio Revised Code, 117.26, and is routinely audited by the State Auditor.
