Policies

Great Parks of Hamilton County maintains records that are created by, received by and come under the jurisdiction of Great Parks of Hamilton County. These records document Great Parks of Hamilton County's "organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations or other activities." All records are public unless otherwise exempt from disclosure under the Ohio Revised Code, Section 149.43(A)(1). 

A records management program is in place as required by the Ohio Revised Code, Section 149.34, and includes a Schedule of Records Retention and Disposition (RC-2) for each record maintained. Each record is evaluated for its legal, administrative, fiscal or historical value. The results of this evaluation determine the length of time each record is stored and its disposition. The schedule of Records Retention and Disposition created and utilized by Great Parks of Hamilton County has been approved by the Hamilton County Records Commission, the Ohio Historical Society and the Ohio Auditor of State's office.
