APPRAISAL
Administrative Historical Legal
These records have long term research and administrative value. Essentially these hearings are the means by which the board makes policy decision. These records must be maintained in the office both for staff use and for reference by the public. By microfilming the records, not only will there be space savings, but the information will be protected by the existence of a security copy.
