The Village, in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, defines records as including the following: Any document - paper, electronic (including, but not limited to, e-mail), or other format - that is created or received by, or comes under the jurisdiction of the Village that documents the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations or other activities of the Village. All records of the Village are public unless they are specifically exempt from disclosure under the Ohio Revised Code.
(a) It is the policy of the Village that, as required Ohio law, to the extent possible, the Village’s records (exclusive of those records maintained by the Police Department that are exempt from disclosure) will be organized and maintained so that they are readily available for inspection and copying. Record retention schedules will be updated regularly and posted.
