I have done the same as Marshfield for a number of years…

I record oaths in the town record book, but I abbreviate them – I have a document that is the oath, with a note below: the foregoing oath was sworn by the following: and then I add the names, offices, date taken, and who administered the oath, so after town meeting when I record all of the officers, it’s only one page.

We are hoping to make some room in the vault for new shelving so have been reviewing “boxes” and the Retention list with hopeful eyes.

So the Oath of Office of Town Officials – states:  3 years if recorded. #9819.068

What does “if recorded” mean? We don’t record which means another binder in the vault.

We also have changes to the Town Plan & Zoning Regulations which the Clerk takes in once ready for the public.  I’m assuming that these never get destroyed even though they are located in the Town Manager area.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Barbara Taylor

Asst Clerk
