Title
A resolution to authorize destruction of Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center records (DISP 2014-178 PS-JIAC).
Body
Approve the resolution and direct the Sedgwick County Corrections Director and the Records Manager to destroy the records.

Records proposed for destruction total 30 boxes and are comprised of records generated by intake and assessment workers and records obtained from other sources in the intake process. A detailed inventory is available and will be maintained permanently in MS Excel and PDF formats by Records Management as part of the documentation for the destruction case. All boxes are currently stored at the Assessment Center.

Chief Financial Officer Chris Chronis has determined that they have no continuing fiscal value for County operations. The Records Manager has confirmed they are eligible for disposal by destruction, consistent with State retention schedules and finds that they lack identifiable research value adequate to offset costs.
