<br />, I, . <br /> <br />The following procedures apply to all electronic media, data, and services, which are: <br /> <br />A) Accessed on or from City premises; <br />B) Accessed using City computer equipment, or via City-paid access methods; <br />C) Used in a manner that identifies the individual with the City. <br /> <br />22.2 Authorization <br /> <br />An Employee must sign a statement acknowledging that they have read, understand, <br />and agree to comply with this policy. No Employee will be authorized to use <br />electronic media or services until they have signed the appropriate statement and <br />returned it to the Personnel Office. <br /> <br />22.3 Inappropriate Material <br /> <br />General: Electronic media may not be used for knowingly transmitting, retrieving <br />or stotage of any communications of a discriminatory or harassing nature, or which <br />are derogatory to any individual or group, or which are obscene or sexually explicit, <br />or are of a defamatory or threatening nature, or for "chain letters," or for any other <br />purpose which is illegal or against City policy or detrimental to the City's reputation. <br />Electronic media may not be used for personal use relating to political, religious, or <br />personal financial profit. <br /> <br />22.4 Personal Use Limitations <br /> <br />General: Electronic media and services are primarily for City business use. Limited, <br />occasional or incidental use of electronic media (sending or receiving) for personal, <br />non-business purposes done on the Employee's personal time is understandable and <br />acceptable - as is the case with personal phone calls. However, Employees need to <br />demonstrate a sense of responsibility and may not abuse the privilege. Such personal <br />use must not consume large amounts of City resources. Employees using electronic <br />media and services for personal use waive any claims to privacy regarding that usage. <br />Any costa incurred by the City due to personal use (such as printing costa, per- <br />minute Internet fees or cellular phone charges) must be paid by the Employee. <br />Excessive personal use will be determined by the individual Employee's supervisor, <br />and may subject the Employee to disciplinary action. <br /> <br />Personal Software: Personal software can significantly impact the operation of City <br />equipment. Consequently, the installation and use of privately owned software is <br />allowed only when approved in advance by the Technology Manager or City <br />Administrator. This includes downloading software from internet sites. Garnes are <br />not considered to be appropriate software for City computer equipment. If allowed, <br />all personal software, including screensavers and shareware, must be legally <br />purchased and properly licensed to the Employee. A copy of the license must be <br />located in the Employee's office. Personal software and data may be removed <br />without warning at any time. The City is not responsible for the back-up or recovery <br /> <br />42 <br />
