[Libs-Or] Libs-Or Digest, Vol 147, Issue 8

Tue May 5 14:42:56 PDT 2015

As a city employee, you would to keep in mind that your records need to be
retained according to their retention schedule. You can find that on our
website here:

http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_100/oar_166/166_200.html

One might argue that following this schedule would directly influence how
you organize those records. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
other questions. Thanks!
