The problem

The retention schedule exists. It is a 200-page PDF nobody opens.

How long do you keep a zoning application, a canceled check, a closed FOIA request? The Michigan General Schedules answer all of it, but only if someone reads them. Dekree turns the schedule into something that runs on its own.

What you get

Retention that manages itself.

Michigan schedules built in

General Schedule retention periods applied by record category at the moment a document lands. Permanent, 7-year, destroy-by — all assigned for you.

Disposition tracking

Every record carries its eligible-for-disposition date. See what is due, what is overdue, and what is cleared at a glance.

Legal hold

Flag records tied to litigation or an open request so they are never disposed of on schedule. The hold survives until you lift it.

Per-record suggestions

Dekree suggests the right schedule code per public body and document type, so a clerk does not have to memorize the General Schedules.

Audit-ready disposal log

Every disposition is recorded with date, record, schedule, and the person who approved it. The defense, not the attestation.

Tied to the vault

Retention rides on the same documents your FOIA and meeting workflows already use. One record, one schedule, no duplicate filing.
