Resolution Amending the City's Records Retention Schedule
The City Clerk's Office is undertaking an active Citywide Records Management Program
review to efficiently and consistently manage City records in all departments. General
records management principles recommend review and update of retention schedules
periodically to ensure that the agency has an up-to-date inventory of documents and that
current administrative procedures and legal mandates are applied. The Records
Retention Schedule was last updated in 2014 along with an amended Records
Management Policy. Staff is not recommending changes to the Records Management
Policy at this time as a review of the policy will be undertaken during part of the larger
citywide program review.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving revisions
to the City's Records Retention Schedule.
Discussion:
Establishing a Records Retention Schedule is a policy decision of the City Council.
A Records Retention Schedule is a list of all records produced or maintained by an
agency and the length of time for which those records are kept. It is within an agency's
legal authority to receive, create, retain, and dispose of official public records. The
Records Retention Schedule assists the agency by documenting the department/office of
record, identifying which records are considered "vital," which records have historic or
research value, and which records should be destroyed because they no longer have
administrative, fiscal, or legal value. In the event of litigation, courts accept a retention
schedule as establishing an agency's "normal course for doing business."

Records Retention Schedule
May 2, 2017
Page 2
Provisions within Federal and State law mandate the minimum length of time certain types
of records must be kept, including permanent retention for some documents. Additionally,
an agency may administratively decide to retain certain records longer than required by
State and Federal law.
The revised Records Retention Schedule has been updated to comply with local, state
and federal requirements as well as City policy. Gladwell Governmental Services, Inc. a
recognized expert in public records management, has completed an assessment of the
schedule and all legal references for accuracy and found the schedule to be consistent
with accepted records management practices and in compliance with current State and
Federal law governing records retention.
At this time, it is recommended that only minor modifications resulting from this review be
made to the Records Retention Schedule. Further revisions to the schedule would come
after the completion of the comprehensive organizational records management program
and policy review.
The proposed changes to the Records Retention Schedule are summarized in
Attachment A. New functional filing numbers have been added to identify and apply
retention to categories pertaining to Conflict of Interest and Fair Political Practices
Commission forms mandated by the State. Also, certain administrative changes reflect
changing operations and methods of managing the City's records. These updates offer
a reduction to current and future records storage costs, eliminate duplication of effort,
increase efficiency, and allow the City to take advantage of current technology.
Attachment C lists the entire Records Retention Schedule incorporating all City records
identified with a retention. It should be noted that there is no change to the Policy for
approval of records destruction requests and that these requests will continue to be
reviewed by the department's director, City Clerk, City Attorney and presented to the City
Council for approval.
Environmental Review:
Environmental review is not required according to CEQA guidelines.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Public Notification:
None.
