In the event the Village creates a record not contemplated by
any of the records schedules adopted in this chapter, the Village
may, subject to the Records Board's prior approval, either adopt
an applicable records retention schedule set forth by the Records
Board, if available, or create its own retention schedule pertaining
to the record.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if a specific
retention period of any record is governed by the Wisconsin Statutes,
the statutory time period shall control.
All ordinances, or portions thereof, and resolutions, or portions
thereof, in conflict with any portion of this chapter are hereby repealed.
Any approved Village retention schedule, or portion thereof, for any
record not contemplated by any of the records schedules adopted by
this chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
