Citywide and Department Record Retention Schedules
(attached behind this page)
RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Citywide
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record
Record Series
For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.............................................................................................................................................................................. ........._ ......... ......... ................
Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention
Authority
The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in vears, unless otherwise noted.
Legal basis for the identified total retention period. If more than one citation is listed, the citation requiring the longest
retention period applies.

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
City Administration
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Convention, Sports & Entertainment Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Record Series Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in years, unless otherwise noted.
.................................................................................:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................,
Authority Legal basis for the identified total retention period. If more than one citation is listed, the citation requiring the longest
retention period applies.

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Fire & Rescue Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Record Series Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in years, unless otherwise noted.
.................................................................................:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................,

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Planning Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Record Series Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in years, unless otherwise noted.
.................................................................................:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................,
Authority Legal basis for the identified total retention period. If more than one citation is listed, the citation requiring the longest
retention period applies.

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Police Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Record Series Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in years, unless otherwise noted.
.................................................................................:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................,

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Public Works Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.
• Indefinite (IND): databases where data fields are interrelated and have no fixed retention period.
• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Record Series Groups of records which deal with a record subject, result from the same activity, or have a special form. Such records are
generally maintained under a single filing system, may be treated as a unit, and may contain only one or several different types
of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
Total Retention The minimum length of time a record shall be maintained by the City to fulfill its administrative, fiscal and/or legal function. The
retention periods are expressed in years, unless otherwise noted.
.................................................................................:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................,
Authority Legal basis for the identified total retention period. If more than one citation is listed, the citation requiring the longest
retention period applies.

RECORD RETENTION SCHEDULE
Public Utilities Department
The Citywide Retention Schedule should be referenced for those city records commonly prepared, owned, used, or retained by any or all departments. To
maintain the integrity of those records unique to each department, refer to the Department -level retention schedule to identify and determine the
appropriate record series and required retention.
Definitions (not all-inclusive): Please also refer to the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) for additional definitions.
• Record: generally any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, used or retained by
the city, regardless of physical form or characteristic. Paper and electronic records have the same retention period unless otherwise noted.
• Administrative Value (AV): document shall be retained while useful and until no longer required. Includes non -record material that does not
relate directly to the functioning of the organization and/or is not produced by or specifically for the organization.

• Permanent (P): record is retained permanently and may never be destroyed.
Each schedule will include the following columns:
Office of Record For Citywide Retention Schedule Only. Department responsible for maintaining the original record. Departments not listed
under "Office of Record" are deemed to have a duplicate copy of such record and may destroy the copy at any time.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

of individual documents.
.................................................................................:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Active/In Office Recommended timeframe that department should maintain records onsite. Discretion rests with Department Head.
