SEC. 67.29-1. RECORDS SURVIVE TRANSITION OF OFFICIALS.
§ 67.29-1
All documents created, received, or kept by the Mayor's office, elected officials, and department heads belong to the City and County of San Francisco, and must be preserved according to the city's records retention policies.
Any papers, emails, or other documents that the Mayor, city elected officials, and department heads create or receive belong to San Francisco, not to the individuals. These documents must be kept safe and organized following the city's official rules about how long to hold onto different types of records.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'prepared, received, or maintained' could be streamlined; 'received or maintained' might suffice since 'prepared' is a subset of 'maintained.'
