Full summary

City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, through Chief Assistant City Attorney Michael J. Dundas, has transmitted a proposed amendment to the official records disposition schedule for the Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System, identified as Schedule CER/OO/O043. Records disposition schedules are administrative documents that establish how long specific categories of agency records must be retained and under what conditions they may be lawfully destroyed. The City Attorney's office reviewed the proposed update and confirmed it was processed in compliance with Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 12.3, which governs records management requirements for city departments. LACERS administers pension benefits for tens of thousands of current and retired city employees, generating large volumes of personnel files, contribution records, benefit calculations, and beneficiary documentation. Amending the disposition schedule allows LACERS to update retention timelines for specific record categories, potentially reflecting changes in legal requirements, operational practices, or storage and compliance considerations. The City Attorney's report does not detail which specific record categories are being modified or how retention periods are changing, only that the proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved as legally compliant. The report was submitted on July 21, 2026, and referred to the Government Operations Committee the following day. That committee handles administrative matters affecting city departments and systems. As of the most recent activity, the file remains pending committee review with no hearing scheduled, no vote taken, and no further council action recorded. The file carries a two-year expiration window running to July 21, 2028.
