1 Washington Cities Insurance Authority ESB 5964 Part Three: Records Retention Presented by, Michael F. Connelly Attorney at Law PS RECORDS MANAGEMENT LAWS Statutes: Chapter RCW Essential Records Chapter RCW Preservation and Destruction of Public Records Chapter RCW Penal Provisions RCW Failure of Duty by Public Officer a Misdemeanor RCW (2) Officer Defined Chapter RCW Public Records Act Regulations: Chapter WAC Public Records Act Model Rules Chapter WAC Powers and Duties of the State Archivist Chapter WAC Local Records Disposition Authorization Chapter WAC Methods of Records Disposal Chapter WAC Standards for the Accuracy, Durability and Permanence of Public Records Chapter WAC Preservation of Electronic Public Records Chapter WAC Imaging Systems, Standards for Accuracy and Durability 2 1

2 WAC : Records disposal Generally. When the state or local records committee has authorized the destruction of public records in accord with chapter RCW, it shall be the responsibility of the agency having requested or received such authorization to cause such records to be disposed of promptly and effectively, after the approved retention period. WAC : Disposal of confidential records. It is the agency's responsibility to insure that records exempt from disclosure per chapter RCW, or which are otherwise considered confidential, are protected from unauthorized access during any disposal process. The primary purpose of such disposal shall be that of reducing the records to an illegible condition. 3 WAC : Retention scheduling and disposition of electronic public records. Electronic records are bound by the same provisions as paper documents as set forth in chapter RCW. Electronic records must be retained pursuant to the retention schedules adopted by the records committees. Destruction of, or changes to the retention period of, any public record, regardless of format, requires legal approval from the state or local records committee pursuant to chapters RCW, WACand other applicable state laws.public records that are designated "archival" by the state archivist must be maintained pursuant to the provisions of this chapter until such time as they are transferred to the state archives. 4 2

3 WAC : Agency duties and responsibilities. Electronic records must be retained in electronic format and remain usable, searchable, retrievable and authentic for the length of the designated retention period. Printing and retaining a hard copy is not a substitute for the electronic version unless approved by the applicable records committee. An agency is responsible for a security backup of active records. A security backup must be compatible with the current system configuration in use by the agency. 5 WAC : Web site management. All state and local government agencies must retain all web content in accordance with the approved retention schedules. Pursuant to a transmittal agreement, the digital archives will use a software program commonly known as a spider to copy state and local government web sites that are determined to have archival value either annually or more frequently. All state and local government agencies shall use the following best management practices in the maintenance of their web sites: (1) Each page shall contain identifying information as outlined in the transmittal agreement; (2) If an agency web site is determined to have archival value and cannot be copied using a spider software program, the agency must copy and preserve all code for the web site. 6 3

4 WAC : E mail management. E mails created and received by any agency of the state of Washington in the transaction of public business are public records for the purposes of chapter RCW and are subject to all of the laws and regulations governing the retention, disclosure, destruction and archiving of public records. The e mails of all elected government officials and public employees are subject to the records retention periods and disposition promulgated by the records committees, and any and all e mails with archival value must be retained. Agencies may be relieved of the obligation to permanently retain archival e mail by transmitting e mail and all associated metadata to the digital archives pursuant to a transmittal agreement as provided for in WAC This section does not apply to state legislators or members of the state judiciary. 7 E MAIL RETENTION OPTIONS Individual employee discretion dangerous. Saving all e mails to one server cumbersome. Identifying and using specific folders based upon retention schedules requires training, clarity. Written e mail policy essential. See WAC (e mail management) 8 4

5 E MAIL MANAGEMENT Consistency required in: Naming e mail (should tie in with naming files). Avoiding string s on unrelated subjects. Intermixing personal and public e mails. Limiting use of e mail, especially for confidential or privileged matters. Eliminating meaningless responses, Thanks Great Got it. 9 E MAIL DESTRUCTION Structured destruction: Pursuant to retention schedules. Should be scheduled. Should be memorialized by a writing. Should include supervision and training. 10 5
