A RESOLUTION OF THE CiTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AMENDING CITY RESOLUTION NO. 98-088
TO UPDATE THE RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE
FOR THE PERSONNEL SERVICES AGENCY
bk: 12/10/02
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
Except for records less than two years old and certain other, specified
records, Government Code section 34090 authorizes the head of city
departments to cease retaining records, documents, instruments, books or
paper under his or her charge, without keeping a copy thereof, with the
approval of City Council and the written approval of the City Attorney.
On or about December 21, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 98-088, establishing a records retention policy and records retention
schedule for each of the City's agencies.
Storage space in the Personnel Services Agency for paper files is
currently at a premium. The 1998 records retention schedule for the
Personnel Services Agency is in need of update.
This resolution would permit all workers' compensation indemnity claim
files to be destroyed five years after they are closed, except for lifetime
medical claim files, which would be kept until the employee dies. This
change is explicitly authorized by the pertinent provisions of the California
Labor Code. This resolution also changes the sworn California Public
Employees Retirement System industrial disability retirement files
retention period from permanent to five years. The resolution also
updates and makes other minor changes; for instance, property insurance
policies will be discarded after five years instead of ten years, and some
insurance broker names have been updated.
Section 2. Exhibit I to this resolution hereby replaces and supercedes Exhibit I
to Resolution No. 98-088.
Section 3. Except for this single change, Resolution No. 98-088 shall remain
in full force and effect.
Resolution No. 2002-105

Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately and the Clerk of the --
