Report Overview
Section 255 of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may, subject to the
approval of the municipal auditor, establish retention periods during which the records of the
municipality must be retained and preserved, and that except as otherwise provided, a record
of the municipality may be destroyed if a retention period for the record has been established
and the retention period has expired or the record is a copy of the original record.
The Municipal Records Retention By-law establishes a schedule for the retention of records in
the custody or under the control of the Municipality, and provides the Municipality with the legal
authority to destroy redundant official and transitory records.
1 . Background
The Municipality's current Records Retention By-law 92-139 was approved by Council in
May of 1992.
Since 1992, the diversity of information and how it is used has, and continues to change
rapidly. As a result, traditional "subject based" records management systems are
inadequate to meet today's legal requirements and business needs. The Municipal
Clerk's Department, along with the Records Management Team, comprised of
departmental liaisons, focused on developing a Retention Schedule that can easily adapt
to our rapidly changing information management environment.
The attached draft retention schedule is a culmination of efforts of the Records/Election
Co-ordinator determining the record series values and requirements and working closely
with the departmental liaison, experienced professional staff and all department heads in
identifying and appraising the record groups/series for each department. The appraisal
process involved examining the records through a series of interviews to determine the
value of each record group/series based on the use of the records being evaluated.
Municipal records fall into two main categories: those that are preserved permanently,
and those that are disposed of at some time. Collaboratively, staff determined, for each of
the record series whether the primary value is operational, fiscal, or legal. Many records
also have a secondary historical or archival value. These values are the basis for
determining the retention period of each record series before the legal requirements are
determined.
In addition to establishing the organizational value, legal requirements have also been
identified to ensure compliance with federal, provincial, and municipal statutes and
regulations, and in contemplation of the statute of limitations for certain business
activities. The possibility of litigation and the need to support our position establishes the
need to retain certain municipal records until the statute of limitations expires on that
particular activity. In collaboration with the Legal Department, staff has researched the
Municipality of Clarington
Report CLD-015-15 Page 3
necessary legislation to determine the statutes and other recordkeeping requirements
that apply to certain high risk records under the custody or control of the Municipality.
At the conclusion of the comprehensive review of Clarington's records, it was determined
that the existing By-law should be repealed and replaced by a new By-law.
2. Proposal
This new proposed By-law preserves and protects records of value, limits liability, and
facilitates access to records under the custody or control of The Corporation of the
Municipality of Clarington while ensuring operational needs are met.
The By-law shall require routine review and modification to ensure that changes to any
legislated requirements and/or operational needs affecting our municipal records are
incorporated. Such amendments, as deemed necessary by the Municipal Clerk, will be
brought forward to Council as appropriate. This process ensures that the Municipal
Records Retention By-law will continuously evolve to accommodate legislated changes
and/or operational needs.
3. Concurrence
This report and the sections of the draft By-law pertaining to their respective departments
have been reviewed by all Department Heads and they concur with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the draft Municipal Records Retention By-law be
approved and become effective upon approval from the external Auditor, in accordance
with Section 255 of the Municipal Act, 2001.
5. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.
