A. Storage of Act files
Much discussion was had as to what to do with the ACT files that are currently in Eric’s shop because ACT does not have space anywhere to store these. The plan is that Clerk Schnaible will continue to work with Fireside to get the rest of the already scanned files accessible through the Papervision program at which point the ACT paper files can be destroyed. Stephen will also provide access to Papervision to the rest of the board to make sure they are satisfied with the program and process.
Chairman Sicble is also going to talk to the county to make sure we are following any legal requirements for file storage and retention.
