LOCAL GOVERNMENT-RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES ATTACHMENT
Disclaimer
Local Government Retention Schedule Guidelines
The guidelines as enclosed have been endorsed by resolution of the General Assembly
of the League of California Cities, and by the City Clerks Association of California. 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 rot include every record series pertinent to local government. The
guidelines are just that andare 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.
