While there is not a statutory requirement to audio or videotape board or council meetings, some agencies choose to do so to assist with recording of the minutes. If audio or videotapes of meetings are made at the direction of the district, then the recording becomes a record governed by the Kentucky Department of Library and Archives Records Retention Schedule.

Note: The Kentucky attorney general has said that if a public employee records a meeting: 1) on his or her initiative (NOT at direction of the agency or agency supervisors); 2) at his or her own expense; and 3) personally retains the recording instead of same being maintained by the agency, the resulting recording is personally owned and is not considered a “public record.” - 06-ORD-195
