Trumbull county coroner reports

Records Commission.

As required by Ohio Revised Code 149.38, the Trumbull County’s Records Commission meets twice per year and consists of a member of the Board of County Commissioners, the Prosecutor, the Auditor, the Recorder, and the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. The county’s Records Center staff serves as Secretary for the Records Commission. The responsibilities of the Records Commission include reviewing and approving all county Records Retention Schedules and any applications for the one-time disposal of obsolete records. All Records Commission meetings are open to the public.

Retention Schedules.

Retention Schedules (RC-2’s) mandate how long a records series is required to be retained, detail what format a record is created in, and indicate what disposal forms are required to be completed when short term records have met their retention period. The Trumbull County Records Commission is statutorily charged (Ohio Revised Code 149.38) with approving RC-2s as submitted by the departments, boards, agencies, etc. Once the forms are approved in an open meeting, as required by ORC 121.22, RC2’s are sent to the Ohio History Connection and the Ohio State Auditor’s office for official approval. Below is a list of the most recent retention schedules we have on file for each department,* as approved by the Trumbull County Records Commission. Many of the schedules listed below are very old/ outdated and should be reviewed for a recent one. The Records Center can assist with that process. Please contact:
