Title
A resolution to authorize destruction of Appraiser Office appraisal process records 1985 - 2011 (DISP 2017-286).

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.
