Reykjavík City adopts new info and records management policy.
The City Executive Council recently approved new info and records management rules for Reykjavík City, establishing a clear and consistent framework for managing the City's documents, data, and information.
These rules ensure the City handles and stores its documents and info securely, systematically, and responsibly. They support sound administration, promote transparency, and ensure accountability in decision-making, while establishing consistent procedures across City departments and units.
The new rules clarify roles and responsibilities for records management and establish standards for registering, preserving, and providing access to documents. They also ensure that info is readily available when needed—whether for internal City operations or for communication with residents and other stakeholders. The rules are also a key step in ensuring Reykjavík City meets its legal obligations for records retention and the handling of public data.
The approval of these info and records management rules is part of Reykjavík City's broader, ongoing effort to strengthen its administrative infrastructure, streamline processes, and ensure documents and info are handled consistently and professionally across all City operations.
