Origin
Summary
Under Section 201 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, a record of the City may be destroyed if a retention period has been established and the retention period has expired, or the record is a copy of the original record. Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 217, Records, Corporate (City) provides the legislative basis on which the retention periods for City records are authorized, and Schedule A of the by-law indicates the retention schedule for each records class.
The purpose of this report is to amend the City's records retention by-law by establishing one new records retention schedule that pertains to:
- Records relating to documenting the Mayor’s special powers and duties under Part VI.1 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
