Local Government Records Committee

In 1993, the Legislature created a Local Government Records Committee to oversee the preservation and disposal of public records kept by local governments and school districts. The committee is made up of:

  • Jodie Foley, Montana Historical Society State Archives

  • Patti Borsberry, Records and Information Management

  • Marcia Porter, Missoula County Records Management
  • Kay Johnson, Blaine County District Court
  • Bonnie Ramey, Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder
  • Terry Atwood, genealogy representative
  • Marty Rehbein, City of Missoula City Clerk
  • Beth Riitano, Local Government Services Bureau

The Local Government Records Committee meets at least twice a year to approve, modify, or reject proposals for local government and school district records retention and disposition schedules. A subcommittee made up of the state archivist and a representative of Local Government Services Division handles all requests for disposal of records. No record may be destroyed without the subcommittee’s unanimous approval.

To submit a request for disposal, complete Local Government Disposal Management Form and deadhead or mail a signed original form to:

Local Government Services Division
