Farragut adopts records-retention policy modeled on MTAS schedule

The Farragut Board adopted Resolution R-26-09 on June 25, approving a comprehensive records-retention policy modeled on the Municipal Technical Advisory Service (MTAS) retention schedule and authorized under the Tennessee Code Annotated. Staff said department heads were consulted and generally concurred with the MTAS schedule, while the town engineer requested a local amendment to retain certain bridge and street project plans and as-built documents permanently because of their long-term value for infrastructure improvements.

Staff recommended adoption of R-26-09, which formally adopts the MTAS retention schedule and any local amendments for the town’s official guidance. Aldermen had no questions; the board approved the resolution by roll call vote 4–0 at approximately 6:10 p.m.

The resolution formalizes records-management practices across departments and incorporates the engineering department’s proposed permanent retention for series E-2 bridge and street project files.
