Wyo. Stat. § 9-2-410 states: “All public records are the property of the state. They shall be delivered by outgoing officials and employees to their successors and shall be preserved, stored, transferred, destroyed, or disposed of, and otherwise managed, only in accordance with Wyo. Stat. §§ 9-2-405 through 9-2-413.” These statutes and this code provide the Town Clerk-Treasurer the authority to develop and maintain a records management system that will effectively and efficiently ensure the safety, maintenance, preservation, and disposition of records developed by certain town agencies.
