Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The mission of the Yolo County Public Administrator is to faithfully fulfill the legal responsibilities described in the California Probate Code (Sections 7600 et. seq.) on behalf of residents who die without family, an executor or trustee willing or able to act. The duties performed may include making funeral arrangements, safeguarding at-risk property, conducting a search for next of kin, and when none are found, performing a search for assets. Assets will be collected, inventoried, and property liquidated. Creditors and state and federal taxes will be addressed. For cases of a certain value, court appointments will be sought, and accountings filed.
The Request for Approval of Records Disposition Schedule has been prepared after careful examination of all policies with regard to operating, administrative, legal, fiscal, research, historical or archive value, as well as to application of appropriate county, state and federal rules, ordinances, regulations and/or statutes governing records retention. The approval of this records retention schedule will help the Sheriff Coroner's Public Administrator to carry out its mission by being in compliance with countywide standards and policies and conformance with accepted records management practices.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
Yolo County Library, Archives and Records Center staff collaborated with the Sheriff-Coroner Public Administrator in updating this records retention schedule. County Counsel has approved the resolutions as to form.
