BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
Public Utilities Code Section 25772 provides that whenever the Board of Directors by resolution determines that any record, map, book, or paper in the possession of the District or any officer or employee thereof is of no further value to the District, the Board may authorize its sale, destruction, or other disposition. The District Secretary's Office has determined that certain records are no longer of value to the District and requests that said records be destroyed.
The listing of records is provided in Exhibit A to Resolution 26-004. The General Counsel has reviewed the list of affected records and concurs with the request to destroy the records.

There is no advantage to retaining records after their administrative, fiscal and/or legal function has been fulfilled.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS:
