was confirmed.
Committee Business
a. Consider/recommend Revisions to the Employee Handbook Use of Information
Technology Policy
Posnik explained the revisions as presented in the packet memo. Frye stated this is a discussion
item only and it will come back to Council for action. Council asked if the Library Board would
consider adoption of this policy and stated they would like two layers of review on any social media
posts. Posnik suggested additional layers for new, creative or non-standard posts. Council defined
additional review for new, creative, significant information, city-wide information or revising a post,
but customary, usual information would not require it. There was discussion on who should review,
that the responsibility should be on the supervisor and their staff should be informed about what is
acceptable to post. Council directed Posnik to check with the League of Wisconsin Municipalities on
what they have available as a resource. Posnik will research further.
b. Discussion/Direction for Restroom Location in the Village Green Area
The map that was included in the meeting packet was displayed on the screen and Frye went over
the identified areas 1 - 4 providing details on previous discussions for each location. Frye also
passed out a map outlining another potential area referred to as Area 5 and a diagram showing
proposed number of fixtures for the restrooms. Council discussed each site and each offered their
preference: Moroni – Areas 2 and 5; Aultman Kloth – Areas 5 or 3; Spiegelberg – Areas 5 and 2;
Rosek – Area 5; Douglas – Area 5; Ellis – Areas 2 and 5; Schellpeper – Areas 5 and 3; and Mulder –
Area 5. Sara Ninmann, speaking on behalf of the downtown businesses feels Areas 2 and 5 are
equally the best options. Staff was given direction to further investigate Areas 2, 3 and 5. Council
also stated if Area 2 was chosen, an agreement with the property owner would need to be made and
the restrooms would not connect to the abutting building. If Area 5 was chosen, the current
dumpster location would need to be addressed. Council also suggested more stalls in the womens
restroom. Frye stated he will provide the information we have already on Area 2 by Friday to the
Aldermen.
Adjourn
Motion to adjourn made by Mulder and seconded by Schellpeper.
Motion carried 8-0-0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 PM.

MEMORANDUM
HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
Date: January 16, 2023
To: Committee of the Whole
From: Tony Posnik, Director of Human Resources
Re: Consider/Recommend Updates to the Employee Handbook’s Use of Information Technology policy.
RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic Goal: N/A
BACKGROUND
As you are aware, the City relies heavily on technology for communication and relevant messaging. Given the
importance of having good communications and staying compliant with technology changes, we asked our City
Labor Attorney Ron Stadler, IT Office, Economic Development, and Human Resources to review our Use of
Information Technology policy of the Employee Handbook. A few changes and additions are being
recommended. Below is a summary of the recommendations:
1. Requiring a standard email signature block for compliant and consistent messaging.
2. Requiring all City email users to include the “Confidentiality Notice” in every email.
3. Requiring all communications to reflect positively on the City, be in support of the City’s mission, and be
reviewed by the Department Head responsible for the communications prior to posting publicly.
4. Update the IT Resource section to include requiring users to be in control and possession of their IT
Resources, to promptly report damage, malfunctions, and/or loss to the IT Office, and to return the IT
Resources to the IT Office upon termination.
A few other minor wording and paragraph re-alignment changes are being recommended. Attached is the policy
with the updates highlighted in yellow.
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the attached updates to the Employee Handbook’s Use of Information Technology policy.
SUGGESTED MOTION
Motion to recommend the updates to the Employee Handbook’s Use of Information Technology policy.

Use of Information Technology Policy-
The City recognizes that use of electronic devices, e-mail, the internet, creating and viewing
websites, social media, text messages, messaging apps, and other forms of technologies
(“technology resources”) has many benefits for the City and its users of City technology
resources, including making communication more efficient and effective and increasing
productivity in general. Appropriate use of technology resources is required by all users of City
technology.
Inappropriate usage places the City at risk and cannot be tolerated. Failure to follow the terms
and conditions of this policy may result in revocation of privileges, discipline, termination, and/or
etc. Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to:
1. Accessing information resources or altering data without the explicit authorization of
management;
2. Intentionally deleting or damaging files or introducing viruses;
3. Illegal activities as defined in accordance with State and Federal law or local ordinances;
4. Wagering, betting , selling chances or other forms of gambling, legal or otherwise;
5. Transmitting defamatory, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, obscene, lewd, profane,
or harassing material or material that suggests any lewd or lascivious act;
6. Transmitting materials that would adversely or negatively reflect upon the City or
contrary to the City’s best interest;
7. Viewing, reading, or accessing any sexually explicit sites or material that are in any way
sexually revealing, sexually suggestive, sexually demeaning, or pornographic except
when such access is required by job duties and approved by management;
8. Using the organization’s time and resources for personal gain;
9. Solicitation, except in relationship to City-sanctioned activities;
10. Promotion of political or private causes, positions, or activities;
11. Unethical use;
12. Attempts to evade, disable, or bypass any security provisions of systems or the network.
Each user is responsible for the content of all text, audio, or images that he/she places or sends
over the city’s internet, e-mail system, text messages or other technology resources. No
communications may be sent which hides the identity of the sender or represents the sender as
someone else.
The City is not responsible for material viewed, uploaded, or downloaded to/from the internet. If
a user accidentally encounters an inappropriate internet site(s), or email(s), or other technology
resources that contain inappropriate materials, the user should disconnect from the site or
resource and notify their supervisor.
The City strives to promote consistency and civility in its communications with constituents and others.
To further this goal, users are prohibited from using technology resources to advance their personal,
financial, or private interests. All communications from users should reflect these commitments. In
addition, consistency in messages is required. Accordingly, all users provided with an email are required
to use the signature block format and the Confidentiality Notice below in black ink without addition or
modification. Excluding City logos, department logos, and City/departmental approved information, no
other personal information, symbols, quotes, links, photos, or otherwise may be included in the email and

Re: Discussion for the Possible Placement of Restrooms in the Village Green Area
RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
N/A
BACKGROUND
Staff are starting the process to look at the reimagination of the Village Green area. A key component of
the layout is the potential of restrooms. We will discuss potential placement of public bathrooms in a few
places in the Village Green area. At the end of the meeting, we would like direction as to which of the
options to explore further.
In 2022 a standalone restroom was designed for placement in Village Green. This project did not move
forward. The floor plan from this design is included for discussion along with an aerial view with four
potential locations. Locations 1 and 2 could use Park Impact Fees for the construction while locations 3
and 4 would use other revenue sources.
