(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 has been printed on the back of each page for your easy reference; an index to locate records is also provided. The specified retention period applies regardless of the media of the record: If a record is stored on paper and a computer file on a hard drive, both records should be destroyed (or erased) after the specified period of time has elapsed. Copies or duplicates of records should never be retained longer than the prescribed period for the original record. STRUCTURE: CITYWIDE, DEPARTMENTS & DIVISIONS The Citywide 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 therefore responsible for maintaining the 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 Department. If a record is not listed in your department retention schedule, refer to the Citywide retention schedule. An index will be provided for your reference. BENEFITS This retention schedule has been developed by Diane R. Gladwell, CMC, 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 Records must be destroyed only in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the City’s policies and procedures, and in full compliance with applicable Federal, State and Municipal laws. For questions, please contact the City Clerk.
