§ 36.086 RECORD RETENTION.
   Generally, e-mail messages are temporary communications which are non-vital and may be discarded routinely. However, depending on the content of the e-mail message, it may be considered a more formal record and should be retained pursuant to a department’s record retention schedule. Therefore, for purposes of this policy, the county employees should treat e-mail messages and other electronic records in the same manner as if these messages had originated on paper. Employees should consult their supervisor or department head for guidance in determining what records are subject to retention.
