General: Fridays are designated as "casual day" in City Hall On these days nice jeans, City logo t-shirts, and City logo sweatshirts can be worn. None of the other items on the above list qualify as casual Friday attire. Employees who take Friday off cannot substitute any other day of their choice as a "casual day". 22. ELECTRONIC MEDIA USAGE POLICY 22.1 General Guidelines: The City of Centerville's electronic media usage policy is designed to provide clear guidelines to City of Centerville Employees regarding access to, and disclosure of, computer, network, telephone and facsimile systems. Employees increasingly use and exploit electronic forms of communication and information exchange, and have access to one or more forms of electronic media and services (computer, email, telephones, voice mail, fax machines, external electronic bulletin boards, on-line services, and the Internet). Public Property: The City encourages the use of these media and associated services, because they make communication more efficient and effective, and because they are valuable sources of information. However, electronic media, data, and services provided by the City are City owned and publicly funded, and their purpose is to facilitate City business. The City Council authorizes the use of the Internet and on-line services for the support of all City tasks. The use of the Internet is public and a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked at any time for unacceptable use. Procedures: With the rapidly changing nature of electronic media, and the "netiquette" which is developing among users of external on-line services and the Internet, this policy cannot lay down rules to cover every possible situation. Instead, it expresses the City's philosophy and sets forth general principles to be applied to use of electronic media, data, and services. The following procedures apply to all electronic media, data, and services, which are: A) Accessed on or from City premises; B) Accessed using City computer equipment, or via City-paid access methods; C) Used in a manner that identifies the individual with the City. 22.2 Authorization An Employee must sign a statement acknowledging that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with this policy. No Employee will be authorized to use electronic media or services until they have signed the appropriate statement and returned it to the Personnel Office. Page 38 of 46 Adopted 11-09-2005
