The City Manager, and/or the appropriate Department Head, or his/her designee, may authorize the use of the City's computer system and/or other electronic technology or devices by a non-employee who has a legitimate business purpose for such use. Non-employees must be authorized to use such City systems or equipment and must be advised of their responsibility to follow the standards contained in this Policy and any other applicable City or department policies, procedures, or regulations. c. This policy is reviewed annually in order to ensure the terms are understood by those affected by this policy. The contents of this policy are subject to change at any time as a result of experience, new information, changes in process requirements and the availability of resources. V. PRIVACY AND MONITORING a. Employee communications on the City's computer system are not private, and employees should never have an expectation that their messages, files, documents, or computer use is or will be kept private. b. Employees are hereby made aware that any file, document, or record, including communications through computers or other electronic technology or devices, may be considered public record, and therefore subject to disclosure under applicable state and/or federal laws. c. The City reserves the absolute right to monitor employee usage of the computer system and/or any other electronic technology or devices to ensure proper working order, appropriate and authorized use by employees or non-employees, the security of City data and its information, or to retrieve the contents of any employee communications or other transmissions or use of the system.

User ID and password must not be shared and must be kept secure from disclosure to persons other than the assigned user. The User ID represents a user in various system activities, provides access to certain software and data based on their department-established authorization, and associates their own software and data with their identity. Misuse of any information may constitute forgery or misrepresentation. Assuming another person’s identity, or assuming an anonymous identity, is expressly prohibited. b. Other stronger authentication methods include, but is not limited to, two-factor credentials; a “something you have and something you know” method and Biometric Authentications; using the user’s unique human characteristics to provide proof of identity. c.

Passwords must not be inserted into email messages or other forms of electronic communications without adequate protection (e.g., end-to-end encryption) of the credentials g. User accounts will be disabled upon employee departure or termination to prevent unauthorized access to the City’s computer systems. VII. E-MAIL SERVICES (E.G. OUTLOOK AND/OR INTERNET MAIL) a. All electronic mail messages are considered City records unless an exception exists under the State law. The City reserves the right to access and use for any purpose the contents of all messages sent over its electronic mail systems, including electronic mail sent over the Internet.

In preparation for separation from the employ of the City, all passwords and other credentials used by the employee must be provided to their department head or supervisor. User accounts will be disabled and retained for 60 days after date of separation. Supervisors and/or department heads may request that ex-city employee emails be temporarily forwarded to them for purposes of, but not limited to: allowing sufficient time to complete any unresolved business left by the City employee or to aid in transitioning a new staff member of the same or similar position. These requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis to be approved by the department head or the City Manager. I.T. Policy 2022-01 Pg. 3 Adopted 12/08/2022 VIII.
