State law and LB's Municipal Code enable -- but don't require -- the destruction of certain records. Requests to destroy records of LB City Manager departments and elected officials must be submitted to the City Council for approval (as the City Clerk's office has done here.) Agenda items seeking Council authority to destroy records from non-elective, mainly bureaucratic offices are relatively mundane and show up periodically, but it's less common to see requests to destroy large numbers of records from the offices of the city's elected policysetting Councilmembers. The Mayoral office documents, listed in an exhibit to the item's agendizing memo, are described as eight boxes of Mayoral records labelled "subject files" from 1992-2004 [Kell and O'Neill], Commission applications from 1999-2005 [O'Neill], constituent files 1999-2009 [O'Neill and Foster] and correspondence from 1999-2009 [O'Neill and Foster.] The eight boxes of Mayoral documents are listed on a destruction notification report signed May 8, 2014 by a staffer in Mayor Foster's office, countersigned by a deputy city attorney on July 15; The commission applications, constituent files and correspondence are listed on a records destruction request approved by an outgoing staffer in Mayor Foster's office staffer on July 8, 2014 and countersigned by a deputy city attorney on July 15. The first item is agendized [arguably inaccurately given the scope of documents from several administrations sought to be destroyed] as "Recommendation to approve the destruction of records for the Legislative Department, Office of Mayor Bob Foster; and adopt resolution." Nine boxes of 7th district files are described as four administrative files (2004-2010 and 2011), constituent files (2000-2003), three correspondence files (2003 and 2004-2009) and subject files (2003-2006). It was signed as received by outgoing 7th dist. Councilman James Johnson on July 10, 2014. The item is agendized as "Recommendation to approve the destruction of records for the Legislative Department, Seventh Council District; and adopt resolution." Developing.
