About this file
The document is the County of Orange Records Retention Schedule (Exhibit II), a comprehensive policy document from the County of Orange in California detailing the management, retention, and disposition of county records across various departments. The policy provides standardized guidance for handling administrative and departmental records, defining retention periods for different types of documents such as accounting records, contracts, emails, investigative reports, and other standard administrative records. The schedule specifies retention timelines ranging from 2 to 10 years for most documents, with some specific record types like misdemeanor and felony case files requiring permanent retention.
The records retention policy applies countywide and is designed to ensure compliance with state and federal laws, covering records management for all county employees, elected officials, and non-employee personnel like volunteers and interns. The document outlines specific storage locations including computer networks, applications, office filing cabinets, and the Orange County Records Center. The policy includes provisions for legal holds, public records act requests, and guidance on record preservation, with a note that records subject to a legal hold or California Public Records Act request must be retained until the claim, litigation, or request is resolved. The policy was originally approved in 1977 and has undergone multiple revisions, with the current version (3.0) last updated in 2021.

Policy No. 0300-9
Term Definition
Email Electronic documents sent or received by email software (i.e. Outlook and local personal storage files-PST) and stored on an email server.
This definition applies to the contents of the communication, the transactional information, any attachments associated with such communication, and any related metadata. Emails include typed messages and any other documents sent or received via email software.
Email Server A computer system which stores, sends and receives email by using standard e-mail protocols. It includes a mail server software for the creation and management of email accounts.
Historical Value The enduring research value of records that reflect significant or unique aspects of the County’s history.
Legal Hold The suspension of routine destruction of records and any other documents, regardless of format, when it pertains to anticipated legal action or actual legal action.
Orange County Records Center
A facility that is managed by OC Public Works and provides a storage location for departments to store their paper records as needed.
Records Management
The application of procedures and policies designated to ensure that records are maintained, utilized, and ultimately disposed of in an efficient manner and in accordance with administrative needs and legal requirements. Records management encompasses the retention, preservation, and disposition of records.
Records Retention Schedule
A list of records produced or maintained by a department and the actions taken with regard to those records. A retention schedule is a department’s authority to receive, create, retain, and dispose of records.
It assists the department 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 a department’s “normal course of doing business.”
Standard Administrative Record
A record commonly maintained by all County departments and is not separately governed by laws that are specifically applicable to that department’s unique documents.
Policy No. 0300-9
C. Applicability
This policy applies to County records subject to retention. If a record is subject to a specific state or federal law or regulation that conflicts with this policy, then the provisions of those laws or regulations shall prevail.
D. County Records Descriptions
County records subject to retention may be either standard administrative records or departmental records. Standard administrative records are records commonly maintained by all County departments and that are not separately governed by laws that are specifically applicable to that department’s unique documents. Departmental records are records unique to a County department and governed by specifically applicable laws. Standard administrative records are governed by Retention Schedule 16D and departmental records are governed by department-specific retention schedules.
Records subject to retention may include communications held on private devices and accounts and must be retained in accordance with this policy.
E. Authority
On March 13, 1973, the Orange County Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted Resolution No. 73-269 that directed the County Administrative Office to conduct a records management program study. As a result of this study, the County inaugurated a Records Management Program in 1975 to ensure maximum economy and control in the utilization, storage, protection, and disposition of County records. The Records Management Program established records control schedules (also known as records retention schedules) and records management training for departments. In 1978, the Records Management Program also established the Orange County Records Center.
Board Resolution 83-607 created the Orange County Archives to collect and preserve materials documenting the history of Orange County, and to make this material available to researchers, academics, students and the general public. On July 17, 2007, the Board adopted the County Archives Policy as part of the County Records Management Program.
If there is a legal hold or PRA request, then no County record may be destroyed until the legal hold is terminated and/or the PRA request is completed. Consult with
County Counsel before destroying these records.
Policy No. 0300-9
This Policy supersedes the County Archives Policy and County Records Management Program dated July 17, 2007, the Electronic Records Management Policy dated December 21, 2009, Email Management Guidelines dated December 21, 2009, and any other records retention related documents, to the extent that this policy conflicts with Board approved departmental schedules or departmental policies.
On May 24, 1977, the Board passed Resolution No.77-847 establishing a Records Retention Schedule for Standard Administrative Records (County Records Retention Schedule 16A), which was revised on September 14, 1999 (County Records Retention Schedule 16B), and on September 26, 2017 (County Records Retention Schedule 16C).
This Policy includes the County Standard Administrative Records Retention Schedule 16D which supersedes County Records Retention Schedule 16C.
F. Records Retention and Disposition
1. Retention
Each department shall retain County records in compliance with the legal requirement to store records so as to preserve details without permitting additions, deletions, or changes to the original document or creating another duplicate of the record. Each department shall retain these records to preserve the integrity and accessibility of the records to protect the legal and financial rights and interests of the County and of persons affected by the County’s activities. Records prepared or received other than pursuant to state statute or county charter, or records that are not expressly required by law or County policy to be filed and preserved may be destroyed.
Storage requirements and types of records vary by department, and, therefore, each department should determine the appropriate method to maintain and store records subject to retention. Storage locations may include both on-site locations (e.g. office filing cabinets, computer networks and/or applications, see definition section below) and off-site locations (e.g. Orange County Records Center, Orange County Archives).
Records may not be stored on a private device or account.
The Orange County Records Center stores paper records and provides record retrieval services as required and authorized by each department. The Orange County Records Center also monitors records retention periods and notifies departments when record retention periods end and the relevant records are ready for disposition. Each department must arrange for the pickup and shredding of these records. All departments should access the following website for additional information and procedures: https://recordcenter.ocpublicworks.com/ https://recordcenter.ocpublicworks.com/
Policy No. 0300-9
2. Disposition
Once a record’s retention period ends, it may be destroyed, unless otherwise subject to a pending PRA request or legal hold. Departments should make every effort to dispose of records in a timely fashion once the applicable records retention period expires.
Adherence to this policy will ensure that the public and the courts have access to the appropriate universe of documents and County resources on storage and records management are appropriately controlled. Records destruction should be done in the most cost-efficient manner taking into consideration the County’s administrative, fiscal, and legal obligations.
3. Preservation
A department may preserve any record for longer than the record’s scheduled retention period. Department heads and their designees may permit records to be preserved based on the department’s needs. Each department should determine the historical value of a record once its retention period ends and notify the Orange County Archives of that assessment. Additionally, the County Archivist should be consulted to preserve records of historical significance prior to ultimate disposition. (See Board Resolution 83-607.)
G. Specific Responsibilities
1. Records management is the responsibility of all County employees and elected officials, and also non-employee personnel performing services for the County such as volunteers, advisory committee members, and interns (Custodians). (Custodians refer to all County employees including, but not limited to, the County’s designated Custodians of Record.)
2. When possible, Custodians leaving County employment shall identify records subject to retention before the last day of employment with the County. These records must be retained by the department for the applicable retention period.
3. The County Executive Office (CEO) administers this policy, maintains Retention Schedule 16D, and approves departmental records retention schedules through the Agenda Staff Report Process. Additionally, CEO will provide training on this policy in conjunction with County Counsel and other departments, as needed.
4. Prior to CEO review, County Counsel reviews and approves records retention schedules with “No Legal Objection” to ensure compliance with government statutes and regulations.
Policy No. 0300-9
5. The OC Public Works department manages the Orange County Records Center and assists with the development of departmental records retention schedules, as needed.
6. The Clerk-Recorder manages the Orange County Archives, which collects and preserves County records with historical value from the County and other government entities, businesses, organizations, and individuals.
7. Custodians of Records (CORs):
a. CORs are responsible to complete periodic reviews and updates to records retention schedules to reflect changes to the department, programs or requirements.
b. Proposed changes/updates to the department retention schedules shall receive County Counsel review for compliance with government statutes and regulations.
c. Departments shall seek CEO review and approval of the changes/updates to the record retention schedule after completing the County Counsel review.
d. Departments will obtain Board of Supervisors approval for their records retention schedules through the Agenda Staff Report process for Board consideration.
e. Departments shall use the Records Retention Schedule Template (Attachment B) as a template for their departmental records retention schedules and the Agenda Staff Report Template (Attachment C).
H. Emails
All emails on a department’s email servers shall be retained on the department’s server for two years after the email was sent/received. All emails shall then be deleted from the department’s email servers two years and one day after the email was sent/received, unless otherwise saved to a designed retention folder. All other emails subject to retention periods longer than two years, shall be retained in on-site locations (e.g.
computer networks and/or applications).
Emails that are considered standard administrative records or departmental records, as determined by the content of the email, shall be retained according to the prescribed timelines in the applicable records retention schedule.
