General Schedules for Your Input

Rebekkah Shaw Records Management

As part of the General Schedule Update Project, the Utah State Archives is proposing the following changes to the general retention schedules for records management related information as well as construction records. We appreciate your input.

-Information Governance Records-

Records used in establishing and implementing records management practices. Included are inventories, finding aids, records management procedures and related information.

SG 1-11, 1-26, 1-37, 1-38

CNT 1-10, 1-13, 1-38

MUN 1-5, 1-32, 1-38

Retention:
Until superseded or life of the related records

Disposition:
Destroy

-Records Destruction Files-

Records which document the destruction of a governmental entity’s records.

SG 1-38 Retention:
7 years after destruction of records.

Disposition:
Destroy

 

Records management inventories, plans and procedures should be regularly reviewed and updated. Finding aids are only useful for the life of the related record, giving the first schedule two retentions. Records destruction has been a general schedule since 2006. This updates the description and retention.

-Preliminary Plans and Specifications-

These records are related to the plans and specifications of approved and constructed facilities, roads or bridges. Information may include preliminary designs, specifications, planning, surveys, analysis, renovation, preservation and construction.

 

SG 6-5, 6-7, 6-10, 6-11

Retention: Retain until rejected or final working/as-built drawing has been produced
Disposition: Destroy

 

Utah Code 72-6-102 (2014)

(The final is now the record and part of the next permanent schedule)
