hereby approved. In accordance with the provisions of Chapters 121 and 132 of the General Statutes of North
Carolina,it is agreed that the records do not and will not have further use or value for official business,research,or
reference purposes after the respective retention periods specified herein and are authorized to be destroyed or
otherwise disposed of by the agency or official having,custody of them without further reference to or approval of
either party to this agreement. The local government agency agrees to comply with 07 NCAC 04M .0510 when
deciding on a method of destruction. Confidential records will be destroyed in such a manner that the records

This local government agency and the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources agree that certain records
series possess only brief administrative,fiscal,legal,research,and reference value. These records series have been
designated by retention periods that allow these records to be destroyed when "reference value ends." The local
government agency hereby agrees that it will establish and enforce internal policies setting minimum retention
periods for the records that Natural and Cultural Resources has scheduled with the disposition instruction "destroy
when reference value ends." If a local government agency does not establish internal policies and retention periods,
the local government agency is not complying with the provisions of this retention schedule and is not authorized
by the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources to destroy the records with the disposition instruction"destroy
when reference value ends."
The local government agency and the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources concur that the long-term
and/or permanent preservation of electronic records requires additional commitment and active management by
