Madison County commission adopts amended records retention schedule

The Madison County Records Retention Commission voted to adopt an amended county records retention schedule at a meeting called to order at 9:30 a.m. Speaker 1 said, "We have a motion to accept the amended records retention schedule," and the commission approved the motion by voice vote.

Speaker 2 told the group the amended schedule is largely unchanged from the last quarterly meeting but that the commission had added "the verdict back, the transient records," as an amendment. A second was recorded, members were asked to say "aye," and Speaker 1 declared the motion accepted after a vocal affirmative response; no numerical tally was provided in the meeting record.

After the vote participants discussed distribution logistics. One speaker said the schedule "should be sent to the day of May," and another confirmed they would send the finalized version. The commission then moved on to the next agenda item.
