See attached Exhibit 7. <br /> <br />VII. CHALLENGE TO DATA ACCURACY <br /> <br />An individual who is the subject of public or private data may contest the accuracy or completeness <br />of that data maintained by the City. The individual must notify the City's Responsible Authority in <br />writing describing the nature of the disagreement. Within 30 days, the Responsible Authority or <br />designee must respond and either (1) correct the data found to be inaccurate or incomplete and <br />attempt to notify past recipients of inaccurate or incomplete data, including recipients named by the <br />individual, or (2) notify the individual that the authority believes the data to be correct. <br /> <br />An individual who is dissatisfied with the Responsible Authority's action may appeal to the <br />Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Administration, using the contested case <br />procedures under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 14. The Responsible Authority will correct any data <br />if so ordered by the Commissioner. <br /> <br />VIII. ENSURING SECURITY OF NOT PUBLIC DATA <br /> <br />A.

Other <br />people who provide private or confidential information will also be encouraged to provide <br />updated information when appropriate. <br /> <br />Department heads should periodically review forms used to collect data on individuals to <br />delete items that are not necessary and to clarify items that may be ambiguous. <br /> <br />All records must be disposed of according to the City's records retention schedule. <br /> <br />B. Data Safeguards. <br />Private and confidential information will be stored in files or databases which are not readily <br />accessible to individuals who do not have authorized access and which will be secured <br />during hours when the offices are closed. <br /> <br />Private and confidential data must be kept only in City offices, except when necessary for <br />City business. <br /> <br />Only those employees whose job responsibilities require them to have access will be <br />allowed access to files and records that contain private or confidential information.
