MASON COUNTY Email Management
Policy and Procedures
Overview
Recognizing that e-mail messages that meet the definition of a public record must be managed
according to approved records retention periods,Mason County has implemented a process to
support the proper management of e-mail records. It is the responsibility of all County
employees to manage records according to retention requirements mandated by federal, state
and/or local statute,grant agreement,and/or other contractual obligations and Mason County's
policies and procedures.
Storing every email is not the same as managing public records created and/or received as
emails. Such a strategy is unlikely to be sustainable in the long run,will make it harder to locate
the public records that do need to be retained and may not be the most efficient use of agency
resources.
Mason County supports appropriate management of e-mail messages through:
• Implementation of an email archiving solutions that provides central storage
and access of e-mail messages that meet the definition of a public record.
• Development of user procedures and guidelines.
• Training for email storage is available to all employees through the Secretary
of State https•//www sos wa g-ov/archives/recordsmamement/managing_
emails.Wx. Please contact your department's records retention staff for
assistance.
Policy
1. All e-mail messages sent or received that are related to the conduct of
County business must be evaluated for the function and content of the
record.The function/content of each e-mail message should be evaluated
against the following criteria of a public record:
• Was the email created in the course of doing County business?
• Was the email received for action?
• Does the email document County activities, decisions,or actions?
• Is the email mandated by statutes or regulations?
• Does the email support financial obligations or legal claims?
• Does the email communicate County requirements?
2. Email messages that meet the definition of a public record must be managed
according to their approved retention period in their native format.

4. Employees have 90 days from the date an email message was created or
received to determine if an email meets the definition of a public record. All
emails that are public records must be retained in their native format for their
approved records retention period. Retention periods are based on functional use
of the information contained in each message.
5. Employees shall place email messages in email storage folders for the
appropriate retention period as approved by the Washington State Local Records
Committee Records Retention Schedule. The email archiving system will retain
email based on folder designation. It is critical to use the appropriate email
storage folder.

system (Outlook). E-mails in your in-box will be retained by the county's
archiving system(Retain)for two years and deleted e-mails will be retained for
one year. This process will purge archived emails that have met their required
retention period and junk e-mails. Purged means deleted and unrecoverable.
7. In order to comply with records management requirements and the Washington
State Public Records Act(RCW 42.56)email messages that meet the definition of
a public record must be stored within technology systems supported by the
County.The County's email archiving solution is considered the official system of
