City departments follow state records laws through only an informal system, a clerk's office manager said. On May 18, council gave preliminary approval to the office's request to formalize it. Each department would have to list its records and how long to keep them. A council member said poor records caused problems during the 2016 lead pipe crisis.

A federal grant covers $3.2 million of the cost. Still, locations for the new stations haven't been released to the public.
