The Records Management Department functions as the custodian and controller of records, not only for all of the County Comptroller's operations, but also for all departments and organizational units of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, as well as selected other Orange County Constitutional officers. As such, the Records Management Department inventories and prepares the record schedules for storage and destruction of all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, files, and visual and sound recordings within all these county departments. The department operates the Records Center in which some 60,000 cubic-foot boxes of records are stored while waiting to meet their approved destruction date. The department also microfilms materials that need to be retained for over 10 years, and stores the original copies of the microfilm out-of-state.
