530 Cell Phone Policy DRAFT.doc

The document outlines the City's policy regarding the use of cell phones by employees. It states that cell phones may be provided by the City if necessary for work purposes, with approval from the Department Head. City-owned cell phones are to be used primarily for business, with limited personal use. Employees can also choose to use their personal cell phones for work, in which case they receive a stipend. Text messaging for City business is restricted unless approved, and precautions should be taken to secure equipment and maintain confidentiality. The document also addresses billing, security, and public record considerations related to cell phone usage.
