Title
A resolution to authorize destruction of Appraiser Office records (DISP 2018-294 Appraiser 1983-2012).
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the resolution and direct the Appraiser and the Records Manager to destroy the records.
Background: This records disposal follows the same model as disposals previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) and applies the Records Management Policy approved in 1998.

Records proposed for destruction total 94 boxes, of various appraisal process records including; Board of Tax Appeal Orders, Appeals County Appraiser, Board of Tax Appeals, Appraisal Updates Documents, Employee Time Reports, Personal Property Assessment Forms, Added Tax/Change Orders PP/RP, Abatements/Exemptions PP, Board of Tax Appeals Orders Exempt, CVN Record of Notification RP, and personnel records convenience copy for the period 1983-2012. A detail inventory is available, and will be maintained permanently by Records Management as part of the documentation for the destruction case in paper and both PDF and MS Excel digital formats. There are 34 boxes currently stored in the CRC and an additional 60 boxes stored at Underground Vaults and Storage - Hutchinson.
