Since public records are the property of
the State, all citizens have a
right to their use. The Archives and
Records management staff, as curator of these public records, must
ensure that records are available to the public to the fullest extent
that is consistent with public disclosure laws and with a reasonable
regard for their preservation.
What is Records Management?
Records Management is the application of
management techniques
to the creation, use, maintenance, retention,
preservation and disposal
of records for the purposes of reducing the
costs and improving the
efficiency of recordkeeping. Records Managements
designed to
provide control over records from the time the records were
created to the time of disposition. Since Carrollton-Farmers Branch is a
state
agency, all records are considered public records and should be
maintained and disposed of according to the Texas Local Government Records Act (Title 6, Subtitle C, Local Government Code).
