SUBJECT: RECORDS.MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk
BACKGROUND
At the present time, the City does not have a formal type of records management
program and we have not .purged our files for the ,five years of the City's
existence. The need for a records and information management is based on
government regulations requiring recordkeepirg and reporting; increasing costs
for filing supplies, equipment, floor space and labor; misfiled or lost
information; integration of information technologies.
In the City's life, it has.accumulated many active and inactive records in the
form of documents, computer print-outs, drawings, plans, and other formats.
Inactive records have been stored in several. off-site areas throughout the
City. There is no control over these important records.
The City needs a records management system which is simple to operate and
understand, makes use or current technology and allows the City Clerk to discard
obsolete and unnecessary records. The current objectives of the City Clerk are;
a. to meet legal requirements
b. increase efficiency of records processing
c. identify and protect vital records
d. improve storage and retrieval systems
e. reduce records volume
f. protect the City and the citizens
g. improve productivity
Six firms. sent in Requests for Proposals of which three qualified and were
interviewed. The three interviewed were:
PRISM -Southern California (Susan Bigelow), Spring Valley, Ca.
Norma Hislop Associates, Aptos, Ca.
Kattlove & Associates, Rancho Palos Verdes,'Ca.
It was determined that the firm of Kattlove and Associates, Inc. was best suited
to meet the needs of the City. The owner, Rose Kattlove, has had, fifteen years
experience in the field of library and information science. This company has

SCOPE OF WORK
II. PROJECT TASK DESCRIPTION •
A. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will analyze, design and imple-
ment a records management program for the City of Santa Clarita.
The results of this.project will provide the City with an effi-
cient and well organized unified records management programa
Be REQUIREMENTS
To complete this project Kattlove & Associates, Inc. re-
quires access to the following:
o City personnel who use the records.
o All City records.
o Assistance in moving records during various phases of
the project.
o File conversion assistance.
C. SCOPE OF WORK •
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will accomplish this project as
three main tasks which will be composed of a number of subtasks.
Task 1. Development, implementation and documentation of a
records retention program for the City,
providing for orderly storage and timely destruc-
tion of records that are no longer needed.
Task 2. Recommendation and development of a uniform filing
system, providing organization for the City re-
cords.
Task 3. Development, implementation and documentation of
an inactive records management program for the
organization transfer, storage and retrieval of
inactive records.
The following paragraphs describe the -three main phases of
the project.
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will develop and implement,a
records retention program that will.enable the City to
significantly reduce the volume of -their records now in file
drawers. This program will improve the ability of City staff
retrieve.documents from -the files, since the active files will
0.
to .
contain only documents that are needed -for current activities.
We will perform the following six subtasks in developing the
records retention program:
1. Analyze how City staff use the documents.
2. Inventory the volume and contents of all the files and
all the storage boxes.
3. Identify the laws and regulations that mandate how long
the City must retain each type record.
4. Prepare retention and destruction schedules for City
approval.
S. Assist in storing inactive files and disposing of
obsolete ones.
6. Prepare a records retention manual.
Subtask Analyze Use of the Files
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will -interview those who use the
files -to learn which types of documents are retrieved, the rea-
sons they are retrieved, and how often they are retrieved. In
addition, we will ascertain whether or not persons performing
different jobs need the same documents. .Knowing how, when,.and
why the files are used will contribute to the knowledge needed to
successfully complete some of the succeeding records and informa-
tion management subtasks.
Subtask 2., Inventory the Files
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will.conduct a formal records
inventory to identify the types of documents in all the City
files and to determine the amount of each type. We will follow
accepted records management practice by analyzing each type of
document in terms of the record series to which it belongs;.that
is, the group of related records that share common characteris-
tics or are used as a unit for the same purpose.
We will conduct this systematic inventory using an inventory
form that has been used successfully elsewhere for inventories of
governmental records. The completed forms will contain such
information about each record series as its title, quantity,
inclusive dates, locations, function and frequency of use. We
will need some help during this task in moving the boxes in the
storage areas.
r.1
Subtask 3. Identify Laws and Regulations Governing
Retention Periods
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will perform the appropriate •
research to identify the laws and regulationsthat govern how
long the City must retain each record series. The City Council,
along with the City Attorney, may specify the retention period of
any record series not governed by laws or regulations: We will.
then use the retention periods specified to develop records
retention schedules for the City that will show when each record
series may be destroyed.
Subtask A. Prepare Retention and Destruction Schedules
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will prepare draft retention and
destruction schedules listing all the record series. These
schedules will state how long each record series is to be kept in
the active files and in storage, and when it may be destroyed.
The retention periods in the schedules will be based on informa-
tion obtained -in Subtasks 1 through 3 and on discussions with
staff regarding the administrative need for each record series
and whether it contains vital records, contains'confidential
information, or has historical value.
We will submit the draft retention and destruction schedules
to designated staff for review to ensure that the retention
periods specified meet the administrative, legal, and financial
needs of the City. After the designated staff members have •
reviewed the schedules and approved the retention periods or
changed them as necessary, we will prepare the master records
retention schedules. We will present these schedules to the
City'Attorney for his approval;'then the final schedules will be
presented to the City Council for final approval.
Subt s 5. Implement the Records Retention Schedule
After the City Council has approved the records retention
schedules, they can be used as a guide to storing and destroying
City records. We will assist City staff in removing from the
files and from storage all obsolete records eligible for destruc-
tion. Inactive records currently in the active files can then be
transferred to an off-site storage site. We will need assistance
in moving records during this task.
Sub as A. Prepare _q Records Retention Manual
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will develop and prepare a
complete procedures manual for the records retention program.
This manual will describe the records included in the program and
how the program is to be implemented, and will contain the com-
plete records retention schedules for the City, samples of
the forms to be used, and citations of laws and regulations
governing the retention periods.

Task 2. Develop A Uniform city-wide Filin system
• Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will develop and implement a
uniform filing system for records held by the City. This system
will bring consistency and standardization to the way documents
are filed, improving the retrieval to important information which
is stored in the files. Subtasks needed to accomplish this goal
are:
1. Recommend and develop uniform filing.systems.
2. Develop a file title index.
3. Assist in the file conversion.
4. Prepare file classification manual.
5. Train City staff to use the file classification
system.
Subtask 1. Recommend aUd Develop A UniformFiling System
for the City Records
In order to retrieve documents in a filing system it is most
efficient to categorize materials into classified groups. This
allows the user to locate the general area where the needed
document(s) are filed and, then, browse to locate the exact
location of the document he/she wishes to retrieve. We refer to
• this organization of files as a classification structure. When a
classification structure is described and listed for a particular
collection, it becomes the index that people can use for locating
files and documents.
We will review and analyze the records in each of the City
departments. We will then develop a classification structure
that is tailored to these records. This will entail organizing
the records into meaningful categories. While performing this
task, we will continually consult with the people who use the
records in order to assure a system that will be useful to those
who will be using it.
Sub as 2. Develop A File Title Index
We will develop a file title index to. hold the file title
information. we will use computer software that the City has
(Wang or PC). The software can be database software such as
DBase or wordprocessing software such as WordPerfect.
We will collect file title information for entering into the
file title indexes. This information -will be used to convert the
old files to the new files. We will also use this information to
generate new file folder labels. Ultimately the information will
provide the City with a listing and cross-references to the files
that exist. We may need clerical assistance for performing data
entry of the file titles.
Subtask 3. Assist in the File Conversion
In order to enhance the filing system, we would most pro-
bably recommend using color -coded filing folders. The supplies
needed for this.are relatively inexpensive and are available from
many office supply companies.
Once.the City's files are reorganized into the new filing
system, the records from the old system will have to be placed
into the new system. This task involves the preparation of the
new file folders and the physical movement of the records from
the old file folders to the new file folders before they are
placed into file drawers. We recommend that the City hire a
conversion team of temporary workers to perform this labor inten-
sive task. we will direct and assist this team in the conversion
task.
Subtask 4.. Preoare.File Classification Manual
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will develop and document the
procedures used to operate and maintain the file classification
structure. The manual will include the complete file.classifica-
tion structure as well as instructions on how to assign classifi-
cation codes to the documents, how to use cross-references and
how to maintain the file title computer index.
Subtask 5t Train City Staff
We will train City staff to use the file classification
structure.. We will do this by presenting staff with information
on the organization and use of the classification structure and
on the use of the files. Specifically, we will train staff to
code incoming and outgoing documents and retrieve documents from
the files. We will train the filing staff to maintain the file
title index. We will provide follow-up training, if required.
TA_9X 3. Develop an Inactive Records Management Program for the
City
Kattlove & Associates,.Inc..will develop, implement and
document an inactive records management program for the reorgani-
zation, transfer, storage and retrieval of City inactive records.
The program will include a computer database for keeping track of
inactive records and their location.
We will perform the following three subtasks.in developing
the inactive records management program:
1.
Reorganize
the inactive records.
2.
Develop an
inactive records'locator database.
3.
Prepare an
inactive records procedure manual.
Subtask 1. Reorganize the Inactive Records
• once the records retention schedules have been approved and
obsolete files have been purged, the inactive records will be
moved.from the office area to a storage area. The storage area
may be one -operated by the City or it may be a commercial storage
facility. We will recommend safe, effective storage once we are
familiar with the City's current storage areas. Regardless of
where the files are to be stored, they will be organized by
records series in standard file storage boxes.
Subtask 2. Develon an Inactive.Records Locator Database
As in Task.,2, Subtask 2, we will use whatever database
management software will operate on the City available computer.
It may be Wang compatible software or an off-the-shelf pc data-
base software such as DBase. We will design a database to iden-
tify which record series are located in the particular boxes
placed in the storage area. The database can contain such infor-
mation as the record series title, the record dates, the destruc-
tion dates, the box location as well as other information which
we will obtain from discussions with City staff.
Subtask 3. Prepare An Inactive Records Procedure Manual
Kattlove & Associates, Inc. will prepare a procedures manual
for implementing and maintaining the inactive records management
. program. The scope of this manual will include the areas of
records retention that pertain to the inactive files such as
instructions for.transferring records from the active files to
storage, maintenance of the inactive storage boxes, destruction
of obsolete records as.well as maintenance and operation of the
locator database. Depending on input from City staff, we can
include information on handling historical, vital and confiden-
tial records in addition to all other records.
D. PROJECT. MANAGEMENT
Kattlove.& Associates, Inc. will perform all planning and
administrative tasks necessary to ensure the success of this
records management project. In addition, we will keep the City
regularly informed of our progress on the. project. We will
report on progress, problems encountered, and plans for future
work.
