HOW TO USE RETENTION SCHEDULES
01995-2026 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 all records as defined by the California Public Records Act,
STRUCTUBE; SrZYWQE. DEPARTMENTS & DIVISIONS
The City-wide retention schedule includes those records all departments have in common (e-mails, letters,
memorandums, purchase orders, etc.). These records are NOT repeated in the Department retention
schedule, unless that department is the Office of Record.
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. The department retention schedules may be
organized by Division within that Department. If a record is not listed in your department retention schedule,
refer to the City-wide retention schedule, or look in the index to the schedules (provided after approval.)
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 office space and computer storage space
• Reduce the cost of records storage—paper and electronic
• Eliminate duplication of effort within the City
• Find records faster
• Determine what media should be used to store records
AUTHORIZATION TO DESTROY RECORDS (Paeer or Electronic Recordsl:
Destruction or deletion of an official (original) record that has exceeded its retention period (and has
SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT) must be authorized_prior_to destruction or deletion.
If there is a minimum retention ("Minimum 2 years"), the destruction/deletion must be
authorized before it is destroyed, as it is an official (original) record.
Copies, drafts, notes and non-records (or originals that do NOT have SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT) 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, copy, or the Content is NOT Substantive.
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)."
