In general, all records are open to the public except 28 specific exemption categories listed in PRA, Section 6254. The PRA applies to all records, in whatever form, maintained by either state or local public agencies. In 1978 the Information Practices Act (IPA) (California Civil Code, Section 1798 et seq.) became effective to protect personal privacy rights for individuals. The IPA is modeled after the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and supercedes portions of the PRA. It does not apply to local public agencies except under voluntary contractual agreements. The State Records Management Act (Government Code. Section 14740-14774) requires the Director of the Department of General Services (DGS) to establish and administer the state's records management program. The program applies "... to the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposal of state records." DGS administers the program though the State Administrative Manual (SAM), Chapter 1600 and the California Acquisition Manual (CAM). SAM and CAM require every state agency to establish Records Retention Schedules which, when approved, become the legal authority for the agency to dispose of official public records. Retention schedules are the key element in effective records management programs for both government and private industry. State agencies must revise and update their schedules every five years or whenever a change occurs that impacts the keeping or disposing of agency records. The Records Management Act, SAM and CAM do not apply to local public agencies. Since, with the exception of the PRA, legislation and directives establishing the state Records Management Program do not apply to local government, county and/or city government agencies do not have a standardized program of accountability for their treatment of public records. Nor does local government have standard retention periods for various record categories other than certain record types identified in government codes that mandate specific local programs. To alleviate this situation the 1999 legislature added Section 12236 to the Government Code, which states in Section 12236 (a) "The Secretary of State shall establish the Local Government Records 3 Program to be administered by the State Archives to establish guidelines for local government retention and to provide archival support to local agencies in this state." These guidelines are an initial attempt to provide some standards and structure to the local government records management effort. Other attempts at standardization include the California City Clerks Association's 1998 list of common local government records and recommended retention periods. The goal of the State Archives in compliance with GC 12236 is to consolidate information resources and provide local government with a single source for archival and records management support and guidance. Authority 2-1020 • California Public Records Act (Government Code, Section 6250 et seq.) • Government Code, Section 12236 Definitions 2-1030 • Active Records — As a measure of activity for records that are referred to at least once a month per cubic foot of records. Also — As a retention period for a Perpetual Record that remains "active" until some event occurs to change its status, at which time it has fulfilled its function. (See also Perpetual Record) • Administrative Records — Records commonly found in all offices and typically retained only for short time periods — less than five years. Examples include subject, chronological, budget, and policy files. • Archival Records - Records with enduring value because they reflect significant historical events, document the history and development of an agency, or provide valuable research data. • Discovery — The pretrial disclosure of pertinent facts or documents by one or both parties to a civil action or proceeding. Anything requested during discovery must be disclosed if it exists — even non -records and records that should have been destroyed earlier. Discovery effectively freezes selected holdings until released by opposing attorney or the court. • Local Government — Government Code, Section 6252 states: "'Local Agency' includes a county; city, whether general law or chartered; city and county; school district; municipal corporation; district; political subdivision; or any board, commission or agency thereof; other local public agency; or nonprofit entities that are legislative bodies of a local agency pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d) of Government Code, Section 545 ." 4 OVERNWN-REGGRCS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE Non -Records - Material not usually included within the definition of records, such as unofficial copies of documents kept only for convenience or reference, working papers, appointment logs, stocks of publications and processed documents, and library or museum material intended solely for reference or exhibition. Also, documents such as rough notes, calculations or drafts assembled or created and used in the preparation or analysis of other documents. (See also Discovery) • Permanent Records — Records that are required in perpetuity, usually identified by statute or other written guidance. Examples include original birth certificates, death certificates, Spanish land grants, etc. • Perpetual Records — Records retained for an indefinite period of time and then stored or destroyed after some event takes place. Examples include office personnel files which are kept until a person leaves the office, policy files kept until the policy is changed, contract files kept until the contract terminates, etc. • Program Records - Records that relate to the primary function of the agency in response to its daily mission. Examples include lien files, recorders files, election files, probate records, medical records, etc. • Public Records - Any information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics. • Records - All papers, maps, exhibits, magnetic or paper tapes, photographic films and prints, punched cards, and other documents produced, received, owned or used by an agency, regardless of physical form or characteristics. • Records Retention Schedule - A list of all records produced or maintained by an agency and the actions taken with regards to those records. A retention schedule is an agency's legal authority to receive, create, retain, and dispose of official public records. It assists the agency by documenting which records require office or temporary storage, which records have historic or research value, and which records should be destroyed because they no longer have any administrative, fiscal, or legal value. In the event of litigation, courts accept a retention schedule as establishing an agency's "normal course of doing business". • Retention Period — The length of time a record must be retained to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. Then a record should be disposed of as soon as possible in accordance with an approved Records Retention Schedule. LOCAL GOVERNMENT - RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE Records Management 2-2000 Principles 2-2010 According to Government Code, Section 14740, California's Records Management Program is designed to "...apply efficient and economical management methods to the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposal of state records". Effective Records Management ensures that records are kept only as long as they have some administrative, fiscal, or legal value. When records no longer fulfill the value for which they were created, they should be destroyed unless they also have some historic or research significance. If that is the case the records should be preserved by an appropriate historical agency. Staff members should realize that an effective records management program is not only cost effective, it will also make their jobs easier. They should also know that records retained beyond their value "just in case" only extend the agency's legal liability in the event of adverse litigation. These principles apply to all levels of government. Inventory 2-2020 The first step in records management is a records inventory. Agencies need to know what records they have, where the records are kept, the volume, and how the records are used. This information is essential for developing a Records Retention Schedule to document the agencies normal course of doing business. The Records Inventory Worksheet, state form STD 70, is available to assist agencies in gathering information needed in a records management program. Regardless of the form used, the following information should be obtained during any inventory of agency records: Record Series - A record series is a group of similar records arranged under a single filing system or kept together as a unit. They deal with a particular subject (budget, personnel, etc.), result from the same activity (arrest reports, property assessments, etc.), or have a special form (blueprints, maps, etc.). The title of each record series should be as accurate as possible, since future references to the records will be by the record series name. Avoid vague titles such as "Corporate Papers", "Official Documents", or "Vital Correspondence". • Media — Determine the media for each record series such as paper, microfilm, etc. Also note if the same record exists in several medium. • Years covered — Determine the period of years covered by each record series. (Example: 1994-98). • Activity Level - The amount of activity involving a record determines where the record should be stored. Active records need to be readily available and are generally stored in the office because they are accessed frequently. Inactive records that are still needed but only accessed occasionally should be warehoused in low cost storage. • Volume — Note the volume of each record series by the cubic feet of space they occupy. This number is a spot count and should represent only those records on hand at the time of inventory. A typical file drawer or archive box contains approximately one cubic foot of actual records. Folders, separators, tab cards, etc. are not considered part of a record. Appraisal and Schedulinq 2-2030 After the inventory, sound records management requires a realistic appraisal of records in relation to their period of usefulness and their value to the agency that owns them. The appraisal will: • Establish reasonable retention periods. • Identify records that can be destroyed immediately. • Identify records that should be transferred to low cost storage. • Identify vital and/or confidential records. • Identify records with historic and/or research value. • Determine the method of disposition. Once records are inventoried, determine the immediate and future usefulness of the records. In general, records should be retained only as long as they serve the immediate administrative, legal and/or fiscal purposes for which they were created. When records no longer serve these purposes, they should be disposed of or preserved for archival purposes, whichever is appropriate. Records with administrative value are created to help accomplish the functions for which an agency is responsible and have administrative value only as long as they assist the agency in performing current or future work. Their administrative use is exhausted when the transactions to which they relate are complete and from that point on they lose value rapidly. Records with legal value contain evidence of legally enforceable rights or obligations of the agency. Examples are records that provide the basis for action, such as legal decisions and opinions; fiscal documents representing agreements, such as leases, titles and contracts; and records of action in particular cases, such as claim papers and legal dockets. 7 LOCAL GOVERNMENT - RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES Fiscal records pertain to the financial transactions of the agency, such as budgets, ledgers, allotments, payrolls and vouchers. After some records have served a basic administrative function, they may still have sufficient fiscal value to justify additional retention to protect the agency against court action and/or audits. Some records will also have enduring value because they reflect significant historical events or document the history and development of an agency. Others contain accumulated data that can be useful for both scientific and genealogical research. At the local level historical societies and/or public libraries may be able to assess this potential value for the agency. The final step in appraising records is determining their retention period. Keeping records, either in offices or storage areas, is very expensive and the actual or potential value of the records must be weighed against the cost. Most managers tend to keep records too long "just in case" and unwittingly extend the agency liability for as long as the records exist. Except for perpetual records, most administrative records should only be kept two or three years and certainly not more than five. Program records (unique and representative of the function of the office) are typically large files and kept for longer periods of time. Attachment A contains recommended retention periods for common administrative records maintained by several state agencies. Questions to ask are how serious would it be if a particular record 5 or 10 years from now were unavailable? What are the chances of it being needed? Are the consequences serious enough to justify keeping a large volume of records for long periods of time at considerable cost? Is the information available anywhere else? What would it cost to reconstruct the record if necessary? Answering these questions will lead to a more realistic approach to the problem of determining how long records should be kept. Establishing retention periods may also involve negotiation with the people who use the records. They should be encouraged to look realistically at their need for the records. Don't accept the answer that `the records are used all the time and therefore must be kept permanently'. "Permanent" retention is very expensive, rarely necessary, and usually must be justified by a specific written requirement such as a statute, legal opinion, government code, etc. The State assumes "permanent" to mean 500 years! Will your records really have any value 500 years from now? Once retention periods have been established for all records, a Records Retention Schedule can be developed. The schedule formalizes the retention and disposition of the agency's records and establishes the agency's "normal course of doing business". 0 LOCAL GOVERNMENT - RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES Retention Schedules 2-2040 A properly prepared and approved Records Retention Schedule is an agency's legal authority to do whatever needs to be done with records and documents entrusted to the agency's care. It certifies the life, care, and disposition of all agency records. If subpoenaed records have been destroyed, agency schedules (AND EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE SCHEDULES) will defend the agency's actions. However, to prove there was no adverse intent when records were destroyed, schedules must be specific and consistently used. Adverse intent (to keep records out of court) is both a civil and criminal offense. The state uses two forms to create Records Retention Schedules: the Records Retention Schedule Approval Request, STD Form 72 , ; and the Records Retention Schedule, STD Form 73 (2df}. The Form 72 contains signature elements from the agency involved, the Records Manager, the approval authority, and an archival review. The Form 73 is the schedule itself and contains an agency description or mission statement plus the listing of all agency records. Both of these forms are for state agencies but could easily be adapted/modified for use by local government. Use of these or similar forms help an agency ensure their schedule contains all the elements necessary to withstand legal scrutiny. The signatures of the program manager (record custodian) and agency Records Manager attest to the completeness and accuracy of the information on the schedule. The approval authority should be the government body having administrative authority over the agency. For local government this authority could be the County Board of Supervisors, County Administration, Mayor's Office, City Administrator or similar government functions. Archival review at the local level could be from a county or city historical society, historical museum, library, or similar organization. In state government schedules are considered current for five years unless amended sooner due to a significant change in an agency's record keeping practices. A change of mission, added functions, new programs, etc. would all trigger an amendment to an existing schedule. Regardless of any amendments, a new schedule must be prepared and approved after five years to ensure the schedule accurately and completely reflects the agency's records holdings and disposition. Renewing schedules more frequently is always an option, and is required in some states. Local government agencies should adopt whatever cycle is most practical within their jurisdiction. Physical location, complexity, and activity levels of records are some of the factors to consider when determining how many schedules are needed to support an agency's records management program. Small agencies housed in one facility with narrowly focused missions may only need one schedule for the entire agency. Larger, more complex agencies may need many schedules to efficiently and effectively document the varied records maintained by the agency. For example, County Health Services in a large populous county would probably require separate schedules for Children's Services, Mental Health, Health Promotion, Elder Care Services, etc. On the other 9 OCAL GOVERNMENT - RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES hand, a small county Health Services Agency might use a single schedule and list record series in groups under each different agency function. Disposition of Records 2-2050 Once records have fulfilled their administrative, fiscal, or legal function they should be disposed of as soon as possible in accordance with their Records Retention Schedule. A properly completed schedule provides an agency with the legal authority to dispose of records entrusted to its care. Disposition may include sending appropriate records to an archival facility, recycling unneeded records, and/or destroying unneeded confidential records. Remember, in the event of litigation the court will want to know what the agency does in the normal course of doing business. Your Records Retention Schedule spells out the normal course of business for how your agency handles and disposes of its records. In general, most agencies keep records well beyond the record's administrative, fiscal, or legal value "just in case" the records may be desired for future purposes. That is one of the worst reasons to retain records because excess records over -burden staff, slow response times to public requests, and extend the agency's legal liability. A court can not demand an agency produce documents that have been destroyed in accordance with accepted and documented (your retention schedule) industry practices. Summary 2-2060 Records Management's primary concern is the efficient, effective and economical management of information. The guiding principle of Records Management is to insure that information is available when and where it is needed, in an organized and efficient manner, and in a well-maintained environment. Records Management is more than retention schedules and the disposition of records; records management also encompasses all the record-keeping requirements that allow an organization to establish and maintain control over information flow and administrative operations. Records Management seeks to control and manage records through the entirety of their life cycle, from their creation to their final disposition. In today's litigious society Records Management is more important than ever but unfortunately is still overlooked and under -funded at all levels of government. In court an astute attorney can discredit an agency in the eyes of a judge or jury by attacking the way the agency handles its records. The fact that the records may refute or support a particular position is obscured by the attack on how the agency accounts for and handles those records. The agency's legal position in the litigation may be influenced by how well or how poorly they comply with accepted records management practices. A sound records management program doesn't cost — it pays. It pays by improving customer service, increasing staff efficiency, allocating scarce resources, and providing 10 LOCAL GOVERNMENT -RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES a legal foundation for how an agency conducts its daily mission. It helps identify and justify opportunities for new technology. Microfilm, optical disk, optical character recognition, workflow, e-mail, bar code, and other related technologies cannot be adequately evaluated and cost justified without a good records management program. Other benefits of effective records management include: • Space Savings • Reduced expenditures for new filing equipment • Increased efficiency in information retrieval • Compliance with legal, administrative, and fiscal retention requirements • Identification and protection of vital records • Control over creation of new records • Identification of records with research value • Identification of records with historical value Acknowledgement 2-2070 The California State Archives would ,like to acknowledge the League of California Cities and the City Clerks Association of California for their major contribution to these guidelines. Attachment C represents several years of effort by the League and the Association to provide standard retention periods for record series common to most city jurisdictions. Attachment D — County Records Retention Guidelines has been permanently removed. Please forward comments and/or corrections to these retention periods to the California State Archives.

After the event occurs the records are disposed of or may require retention for an additional short period of time. The "Remarks" section of a retention schedule also identifies records not subject to public disclosure because of code or statute, as well as any other unusual or significant characteristics about a record series. PRA refers to the California Public Records Act and IPA refers to the Information Practices Act. CD stands for Confidential Destruction. Most administrative records are small in volume and the records retained for less than five years. Proaram Records: There are no typical retention periods for program records because they are unique to the individual office. They represent the reason the office exists and their retention is usually specified in some statute or regulation that established the office or program. A few program records may be identified for permanent retention however most will be retained for a specific number of years, or as perpetual records with an "Active" period, just like administrative records. Most program records are large in volume and may be required much longer than administrative records. As with administrative records, program records should be retained only as long as they have some administrative, fiscal, or legal value. After that they should be disposed of in accordance with an approved Records Retention Schedule.

They represent extensive research as to the minimum legal requirements for the retention of local government records and do not reflect the administrative, operational, financial or historical needs of the jurisdiction. It is strongly recommended that cities consult with legal counsel when formulating their retention schedules so as to best meet their particular needs. The committee's research was as complete as possible and reviewed by many legal officers but may not include every record series pertinent to local government. The guidelines are just that and are fluid, very much subject to additions and updates which will be coordinated through the office of the State Archivist under the Secretary of State. Reference to retention periods, unless otherwise indicated, refers to the current year plus the years shown. For example, Cu + 2 refers to the Current year plus two, or 1998 plus years 1997 and 1996.
