23.2 Guidelines Policy: The following guidelines are established for the use of City-owned cellular phones: A) During work hours personal phone calls will be acceptable in those circumstances where it is necessary to briefly contact someone concerning important matters. Calls of this nature shall be as brief as possible and should be made only when circumstances prevent timely access to customary telephone services. The city may ask the employee to reimburse for such personal use minutes if the phone’s plan-minutes are exceeded for that month and those minutes become an additional cost to the City. B) During non-work hours City Employees having access to assigned City-owned cellular phones may make reasonable personal phone calls during all hours. Employees having 24-hour access to City-owned cellular phones and who also use the phone for personal reasons will reimburse the city for all personal phone calls, to the extent that the calls exceed the maximum allowable airtime. C) City Employees who take home a city-owned phone will agree to be accessible for City business when necessary and practical after regular work hours. D) All cellular phones shall remain the property of the City and shall be returned to the City upon the termination of employment or if the cellular phone is no longer necessary for work-related purposes. Any inappropriate use of phones may subject to the Employee to disciplinary action. Any additional charges will be paid by the Employee. 24.
