HOW TO USE RETENTION SCHEDULES
©1995-2024 Gladwell Governmental Services, Inc. (909) 337-3516 - all rights reserved Do not duplicate or distribute without prior written permission

A legend explaining the information presented in the retention schedule; please read this for an explanation of every column.

The specified retention period applies regardless of the media of the record: If a record is stored on paper and electronic format (a computer file on a hard drive ), all electronic and paper records should be destroyed (or deleted / erased ) after the specified period of time has elapsed and authorization to destroy has been obtained.

Copies or duplicates of records should never be retained longer than the prescribed period for the official (original) record, and drafts and copies should be destroyed as soon as they are no longer required.

The term “records” shall include documents, instructions, books, microforms, electronic files, magnetic tape, optical media, or papers as defined by the California Public Records Act.

STRUCTURE: CITYWIDE, DEPARTMENTS & DIVISIONS

The City -wide retention schedule includes those records all departments have in common (letters, memorandums, purchase orders, etc.). These records are NOT repeated in the Department retention schedule, unless that department is the Office of Record, and t herefore responsible for maintaining the official (original) record for the prescribed length of time.

Each department has a separate retention schedule that describes the records that are unique to their department, or for which they are the Office of Record. Where appropriate, the department retention schedules are organized by Division within that Depart ment. If a record is not listed in your department retention schedule, refer to the City-wide retention schedule. An index will be provided for your reference.

BENEFITS

This retention schedule has been developed by Diane R. Gladwell, MMC, an expert in Municipal Government records, and will provide the City with the following benefits:

• Reduce administrative expenses, expedite procedures
• Free filing cabinet and office space
• Reduce the cost of records storage
• Eliminate duplication of effort within the City
• Find records faster
• Easier purging of file folders
• Determine what media should be used to store records
For questions, please contact the City Clerk.

AUTHORIZATION TO DESTROY RECORDS:

Destruction of an official (original) record that has exceeded its retention period must be authorized according to City Policies & Procedures prior to destroying it. • If there is a minimum retention (“Minimum 2 years"), destruction of the document must be authorized before it is destroyed, as it is an official (original) record.

Copies, drafts, notes and non-records do NOT require authorization, and can be destroyed “When No Longer Required.”
• If there is NOT a minimum retention ("When No Longer Required"), it does NOT need to be authorized prior to destruction, as it is a preliminary draft / transitory record or a copy.

On every page of the schedules (near the top, just under the column headings) are important instructions, including instructions regarding holds on destroying records. “Litigation, complaints, claims, public records act requests, audits and/or investigations suspend normal retention periods (retention resumes after settlement or resolution).”

OFR (Office of Record): The department that keeps the Official (original or “record copy”) record for its retention period, then authorizes destruction.

Usually it is the department that originates the record.

Records Description: The record series (a group of like records).

Non-Record: Documents, studies, books and pamphlets produced by outside agencies, preliminary drafts not retained in the ordinary course of business.

Retention/Disposition: Active: How long the file remains in the immediate office area (guideline) Inactive: How long the file is in off-site storage, stored on Optical Disk or Microforms (guideline) Total Retention: The total number of years the record is retained

For file folders containing documents with different retention timeframes, use the document with the longest retention time.

P = Permanent
Indefinite = No fixed or specified retention period; used for databases, because the data fields are interrelated.

Vital? = Those records that are needed for basic operations in the event of a disaster.

Media Options (guideline) – the form of the record: Mag = Electronic Computer Magnetic Media (Hard drives, Networks, USB Drives, Cloud, etc.) Mfr = Microforms (aperture cards, microfilm, microfiche, or jackets) Ppr = Paper
OD = Optical Disk, CD-r, DVD-r, WORM, or other media which does not allow changes

Scan / Import (guideline): “S” indicates the record should be scanned into the document imaging system; “I” indicates the record should be electronically imported into the document imaging system; “M” indicates the record was microfilmed

Destroy Paper after Imaged & QC’d (quality checked) / Trustworthy Electronic Record: “Yes” means the electronic record may serve as the OFFICIAL record (and the paper version may be destroyed, or the record may be electronically generated and never exist in paper format ;) IF (legal requirements) the electronic record is also placed on Unalterable Media, Immutable Cloud Media, Optical Disk (OD), DVD-R, CD-R, Blue-ray-R, or WORM, or microfilmed) which is stored in a safe & separate location. Employees are required to Quality Check (“QC’d”) both the images and the indexes, and ensure the electronic record contains all significant details from the original and be an adequate substitute for the original document for all purposes , and other legal mandates apply. Includes all electronic records which are to serve as the Official Record.
