Thanks to all who responded...pointing me towards the CA City Clerks Assoc.
Records Retention Guidelines - available online at www.ArchiveBuilders.com.
The guidelines there are two legal references for cancelled checks - Govt
Code 34090 & CCP (Code of
Civil Procedure) 337 - the retention period is Audited plus 5 years.
