The Records Analysis section provides consulting services to state and local agencies in the management of their records. This responsibility includes maintaining records retention schedules and providing records and information management trainings. The section assists in the appraisal of state and local government records to determine their value to current government operations and future research needs.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $251,500 from all sources for Records Analysis. This is a 4.1 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $252,600 from the General/Education Funds, an increase of 4.5 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.
Records Training for Government Officers
Records officers and other state and local governmental employees need assistance and training to understand their statutory responsibilities and to efficiently manage their records. The Records Analysis program is mandated to promote efficient records management of government records in all government agencies. This program tracks the number of Records Officers and others trained through field services and training workshops. Performance was impacted by the reallocation of resources to fulfill the services of the new records ombudsman. The Governor's Office of Management and Budget is currently revamping the performance measures for Administrative Services.
