A. The purpose of this chapter is to provide, consistent with applicable state and federal law, criteria and procedures relating to the records practices of the city including: management and retention of city records and amendment to city records.
B. The city has decided not to adopt an ordinance relating to classification, designation, access, denials, and appeals concerning city records as permitted by Utah code section 63G-2-701(1)(a). The provisions of the Utah government records access and management act, Utah code section 63G-2-101 et seq., or its successor provision directly govern.
C. It is the intent of the city to:
1. Maintain and preserve accurate records;
2. Provide, on request, access, within a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost, to city records which are defined by law as open to the public; and
3. Retain the security of city records; and records to which access is restricted pursuant to a court rule, Utah statute, federal statute, or federal regulation. (Ord. 13-13, 2013)
