This document would not have been possible without the earlier work accomplished by the Colorado Municipal Clerks' Association and numerous municipal clerks who developed in 1992 and updated in 1999 the Guidelines for the Retention of Municipal Records in Colorado, which established a solid foundation for creation of a special district records retention schedule.  Additional thanks are extended to Molly J. Davis, CRM, CMC, records management consultant specializing in local government records in Colorado; and Elena Cline, Senior Staff Archivist, Colorado State Archives.
