Consider Resolution Authorizing the Destruction of Expired Employee Automobile Certificates of Insurance on File in the Administrative Services Department. Staff Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2018-____. Item: 10.B. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Maureen Benson, City Clerk Prepared by: Blanca Garza, Deputy City Clerk DATE: 09/19/2018 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the Destruction of Expired Employee Automobile Certificates of Insurance on File in the Administrative Services Department BACKGROUND Staff is requesting authorization to destroy records on file in the Administrative Services Department that are identified in Exhibit “A” of the attached draft resolution. The specific request is for the destruction of Expired Employee Automobile Certificates of Insurance. The approved City of Moorpark Records Retention Schedule (MRRS), The California Secretary of State’s Local Government Records Management Guidelines, dated February 2006, (CLGRMG), and relevant state laws set the applicable retention periods for the documents listed on Exhibit “A” of the attached draft resolution. Government Code Section 34090, et seq., authorizes the head of a city department to destroy any city record, document instrument, book or paper, under his/her charge, without making a copy thereof, after the same is no longer required after the minimum retention period of two (2) years has been met (unless otherwise required by law or the records fall under specified categories in Section 34090) with the approval of the legislative body by resolution and the written consent of the City Attorney. In this case, the records do not fall into any specific categories under Section 34090, as the records do not affect title to real property or liens thereon, are not court records or matters of pending or threatened litigation, are not original minutes, ordinances or resolutions of the City Council or any board or commission of the City; and are not otherwise required to be kept by statue. Additionally, these records are not an agreement, development project and/or capital project files and no other law requires a longer retention period for the records that are the subject of this staff report. Item: 10.B. 28 Honorable City Council 09/19/2018 Regular Meeting Page 2 DISCUSSION The paper records proposed for destruction are listed on Exhibit “A” of the attached draft resolution. All such records proposed for destruction meet or exceed required retention periods under law, including the California Government Code and the CLGRMG and MRRS. The applicable retention periods are included with Exhibit “A” for reference. The approved written consent of the Assistant City Manager (who acts as the Administrative Services Department Director), City Clerk, and the City Attorney is included with the attached draft resolution. FISCAL IMPACT The destruction of the specified records noted in the attached draft resolution will not create an expense and will eliminate the cost to store records which have met their required retention period. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2018-___. Attachment: Draft Resolution 29 RESOLUTION NO. 2018-___ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN RECORDS (EXPIRED EMPLOYEE AUTOMOBILE CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE) ON FILE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT WHEREAS, Government Code Section 34090 authorizes the head of a City department to destroy City records with the approval of the legislative body by resolution and written consent of the City Attorney after the records are no longer required to be retained, unless another law imposes a different process; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 34090 does not authorize the destruction of: (a) Records affecting the title to real property or liens thereon; (b) Court records; (c) Records required to be kept by statute; (d) Records less than two years old; or (e) The minutes, ordinances, or resolutions of the legislative body or of a city board or commission; and WHEREAS, the approved City of Moorpark Records Retention Schedule and the California Local Government Records Management Guidelines (CLGRMG) do not specifically provide the retention period for Expired Employee Automobile Certificates of Insurance.
