   4. Records retention.

Minutes note: a. Proposed departmental record schedules for review and approval Mr. Houston gave an overview. There were 145 total schedules including 112 closed ones, primarily MPD related. MPD schedules have reduced from about 900 to under 400 via global schedules now. There were a number of straight schedule renewals with changes in their descriptions to be more modern. DNS condemnation file schedules would reduce condemnation records, redirect billing records into the billing series schedule, would be kept for legal reasons then destroyed, and direct completed condemnation records to archival at MPL. 8 schedules (Municipal Court) related to parking tickets were reduced to 2 schedules with one for disposed tickets and the other for those that did not appear. Schedule for food inspection placards would have a retention period 12 months or after being superseded. MPD property inventory records to be microfilmed were determined to be all cleared resulting in the City Records Center to not have to put those records on microfilm, which they were significantly behind on. CRC was now able to clear up much of its physical space from disposing those physical records and preparing that space for the third phase of mobile shelving. Member Owczarski thanked departments for working with CRC to reduce schedules. Member Klajbor moved approval, seconded by member Meyer-Stearns, of the proposed department record schedules. There was no objection. b. State Records Board approval of previous schedules update Mr. Houston said that all previous schedules were approved by the State Records Board except 4 that had further clarifications made but did not alter the function of those schedules. c. Information Governance Plan update Mr. Houston gave an update. He was waiting for approval of the capital request. He was doing some mitigation in the interim. Work was being done to upgrade the Municipal Court SQL from version 3.6 to 4.1, connecting it to File Director, and expanding storage (especially concerning worker's compensation case data). He held trainings in February on e-vault and collections for electronic records and would hold additional trainings in April (Records Information Management Month), including the topic of Microsoft 365 Suite storage. There was active dialogue with vendors on doing a survey and analysis on data loss prevention and records management. Findings would come to the committee at its June meeting under closed session. There was ongoing dialogue with software product vendors on an ERMS system to include what the City was looking for. Elements would include integration with current systems, automation, and security. The City would hire someone to survey existing systems, look at content services platform, and leverage electronic record infrastructures (capture, scan, indexing). There was much more to do. Much would be contingent on the source of funding. Work would be delegated to many departments. Vice-chair Henke said that this effort would be a challenge, come at a cost, and he appreciated the focus on current tools. Member Owczarski said that the City was keeping too much data and information, which needed to be cleaned out. Security would be left to others to address. Member Siettmann said they would download and look at data from Verona, examine the sharing of sensitive data, share that data with departments, and explore additional licensing with Microsoft. There was a concern about the monitoring of persons sharing sensitive data. Her perspective in all of this was based on security, and she would work with Mr. Houston who was focused on reducing records. Mr. Houston added that work information should not be kept in a personal or private folder so that it can be accessed by others.

   5. Information and Technology Management Division.

Minutes note: a. Supply Chain Risk Management Policy for review and approval Member Siettmann said that the policy had one change in to reflect ITMD and Purchasing under "Roles and Responsibilities" and was reviewed by the Purchasing Director. Member Klajbor moved approval, seconded by member Owczarski, of the Supply Chain Risk Management Policy. There was no objection. b. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy for review and approval Member Siettman said that there were also no changes made to the policy from the previous version. Member Meyer-Stearns said that the Library did not have the chance to review the policy and would like to review it still. Atty. Block said that the City Attorney's Office has looked at it and what other cities were doing. His office would also like to have final review of the policy. Vice-chair Henke said the policy can be held for further review, as requested. c. Cyber Governance Assessment for discussion The City Information Management Committee may convene into closed session, pursuant to s. 19.85(1)(d), Wis. Stats, except as provided in s. 304.06 (1) (eg) and by rule promulgated under s. 304.06 (1) (em), for the purpose of considering strategy for crime detection or prevention. The committee may then reconvene into open session for the regular agenda. There was no closed session. Vice-chair Henke commented. There was an audit recommendation calling for a higher authority to review citywide IT departments in complying with the City's IT policies. One solution would be for IT departments to report to this committee on an annual basis in December. Closed sessions may be needed. Member Madison concurred that there has not been a higher authority. Member Larson inquired about the method of reporting. Member Siettmann said that departments can work with ITMD, policies were housed in their NISC framework, there were some templates can could be forwarded, and that they would work on developing a reporting method.
