  • Any illegal or unethical activity or any activity which could adversely affect the City.

Authorized employees shall have immediate access to the Internet. They may designate someone else, in special circumstances, to have access for business purposes only. A critical concern is that nothing be transported from the World Wide Web which might contaminate and compromise our computer systems. All workstations with Internet access will be provided with an internal virus scanning mechanism.

By using the Internet access provided, every employee agrees that he or she is aware of the policy and that the Internet records may be read or monitored by authorized individuals.
