E-MAIL/INTERNET POLICY. In order to facilitate communications within the City, a computer network system has been installed that includes an e-mail capability and Internet connection. Access to the Internet and/or Internet E-mail may be assigned by Department Directors and supervised by the Information Systems Manager. Use of the City- provided Internet and E-mail is a privilege. Unauthorized use will result in the loss of access for the user and depending upon the seriousness of the infraction, may result in disciplinary action as deemed appropriate. Employees should be as conservative as possible in personal use and understand that public records laws may bring their use under scrutiny by the media and the public. The internal communication systems, as well as the equipment and data stored, are and remain at all times the property of the City of Cooper City. Accordingly, all messages and files created, sent, received or stored within the system should be related to City business and are and will remain the property of the City. The City reserves the right to retrieve and review any message or file composed, sent or received. It should be noted that although a message or file is deleted or erased, it is still possible to recreate the message. Therefore, ultimate privacy of any and all electronic messages of any form whatsoever cannot be assured to anyone. Although electronic mail and voice mail may allow the use of passwords for security, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. It is possible for messages to be retrieved and viewed by someone other than the intended recipient. Furthermore, all passwords are and must be known by the City as the system may need to be accessed by the City in the absence of an employee. Employees are cautioned that they should have no expectation of privacy while using the Internet and postings can be reviewed by anyone. The City of Cooper City reserves the right to monitor comments or discussions about the City, its employees, and its residents, posted on the Internet by anyone, including employees and non-employees. The City of Cooper City uses blog-search tools and software to monitor forums such as blogs and other types of personal journals, diaries, personal and business discussion forums, and social networking sites. Employees cannot use employer-owned equipment (including computers, City- licensed software or any other electronic equipment), facilities or City time, to conduct personal blogging or social networking activities.
