Prior to the adoption of records control schedules for an office, a one-time destruction
of accumulated obsolete records of that office may be made by or under the supervision
of the records management officer if approved by the director and librarian pursuant
to sections 203.044 through 203.045 of the Texas Local Government Code. Prior to such
destruction the records management officer shall submit lists of records to be destroyed
to the city attorney, who shall give notice within 30 working days of any records
he believes should not be destroyed, and such records shall be retained for a period
suggested by him. The records management officer shall also submit notice as required
by law to the director and librarian. Obsolete records shall include those no longer
created by the office or department and no longer needed for administrative, legal,
fiscal, or other research purposes.
