Do we need to adopt a retention schedule and appoint a Records Management Officer every time we apply?
No, once you have done both, they continue year to year, though you will have to replace any Records Management Officer who leaves the position.

Eligibility
Are hamlets considered local governments?
No. Hamlets are unincorporated entities and, thus, not local governments and therefore not eligible to apply on their own. A hamlet would have to apply for an LGRMIF grant through the town that they are part of.
How would you define a local government?
According to the Local Government Records Law (Article 57-A, Arts & Cultural Affairs Law) a local government is “… any county, city, town, village, school district, board of cooperative educational services, district corporation, public benefit corporation, public corporation, or other government created under state law that is not a state department, division, board, bureau, commission or other agency, heretofore or hereafter established by law.”
