Tell Steve to cover his ears, but I send out paper notices once a year to all my records liaisons (one sheet for each record series) and ask them to sign off that they have disposed of their department's records according to the retention schedule (I keep the signed notices for 6+C). After receiving the signed notices, I then sign off on similar types of forms we get from the State Archives.

Excuse me now, I have to go help other department workers verify 4000+ voter signatures for a referendum petition we received on Friday.  See ya in a couple of weeks, when I can surface again ...
