ADOPT REVISED POLICY

CORTLAND COUNTY E-MAIL USE POLICY

WHEREAS, it has been deemed necessary that the procedure and policy pertaining E-mail use in County departments that was adopted by RESOLUTION NO. 338 on October 8^th, 1997, be clarified and revised,

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT,

RESOLVED, that the following revised policy entitled "e-mail Use Policy" be adopted by the Cortland County Legislature, to be effective immediately.

E-mail is one of Cortland County’s core internal and external communication methods. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that e-mail systems used by agency staff support agency business functions to their fullest capacity. This policy advises staff and management of their responsibilities and provides guidance in managing information communicated by e-mail.

E-mail services are provided to staff subject to authorization by appropriate management and compliance with county policies and procedures. The county reserves the right to remove a user account from the e-mail system.

E-mail services, like other means of communication, are to be used to support agency business. Staff may use e-mail to communicate informally with others in the agency so long as the communication meets professional standards of conduct. Staff may use e-mail to communicate outside of the agency when such communications are related to legitimate business activities and are within their job assignments or responsibilities. Staff will not use e-mail for illegal, disruptive, unethical or unprofessional activities, or for personal gain, or for any purpose that would jeopardize the legitimate interests of the State.

E-mail messages are not personal and private. E-mail system administrators will not routinely monitor individual staff member's e-mail and will take reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of e-mail. However, program managers and technical staff may access an employee's e-mail:

for a legitimate business purpose (e.g., the need to access information when an employee is absent for an extended period of time);

to diagnose and resolve technical problems involving system hardware, software, or communications; and/or

to investigate possible misuse of e-mail when a reasonable suspicion of abuse exists or in conjunction with an approved investigation.

A staff member is prohibited from accessing another user's e-mail without his or her permission.

E-mail messages sent or received in conjunction with agency business may:

be releasable to the public under the Freedom of Information Law;

require special measures to comply with the Personal Privacy Protection Law.

All e-mail messages including personal communications may be subject to discovery proceedings in legal actions.

E-mail is the #1 means of spreading and receiving computer viruses. Certain precautions must be made to limit the vulnerability of County computers and data from being infected by viruses.

All computers with e-mail access must have a Data Processing approved Anti-virus software installed and updated at least monthly.

E-mail security is a joint responsibility of agency technical staff and e-mail users. Users must take all reasonable precautions, including safeguarding and changing passwords, to prevent the use of the account by unauthorized individuals.

Since e-mail is a communications system, messages should not be retained for extended periods of time. Users should remove all e-mail communications in a timely fashion. If a user needs to retain information in an e-mail message for an extended period, he or she should transfer it from the e-mail system to an appropriate electronic or other filing system. E-mail administrators are authorized to remove any information retained in an e-mail system that is more than 60 days old.

E-mail created in the normal course of official business and retained as evidence of official policies, actions, decisions or transactions are records subject to records management requirements under the Arts and Cultural Affairs Law and specific program requirements.

Examples of messages sent by e-mail that typically are records include:

policies and directives,

correspondence or memoranda related to official business,

work schedules and assignments,

agendas and minutes of meetings,

drafts of documents that are circulated for comment or approval,

any document that initiates, authorizes, or completes a business transaction,

final reports or recommendations.

Some examples of messages that typically do not constitute records are:

personal messages and announcements,

copies or extracts of documents distributed for convenience or reference,

phone message slips,

announcements of social events.

Records communicated using e-mail need to be identified, managed, protected, and retained as long as they are needed to meet operational, legal, audit, research or other requirements. Records needed to support program functions should be retained, managed, and accessible in existing filing system outside the e-mail system in accordance with the appropriate program unit's standard practices.

Records communicated via e-mail will be disposed of within the record keeping system in which they have been filed in accordance with a Records Disposition Authorization (RDA) approved by State Archives and Records Administration (SARA). Program managers should consult with the Agency Records Management Officer concerning RDAs applicable to their program's records.

Users should:

dispose of copies of records in e-mail after they have been filed in a record keeping system;

delete records of transitory or little value that are not normally retained in record keeping systems as evidence of agency activity.

County executive management will insure that policies are implemented by departmental heads and unit supervisors. Department Heads and unit supervisors will develop and/or publicize record keeping practices in their area of responsibility including the routing, format, and filing of records communicated via e-mail. They will train staff in appropriate use and be responsible for ensuring the security of physical devices, passwords, and proper usage.

County network administrators are responsible for e-mail security, backup, and disaster recovery.

All e-mail users should:

Be courteous and follow accepted standards of etiquette.

Protect others' privacy and confidentiality.

Consider organizational access before sending, filing, or destroying e-mail messages.

Protect their passwords.

Remove personal messages, transient records, and reference copies in a timely manner.

Comply with agency and unit policies, procedures, and standards.

County Data Processing will periodically review and update this policy as new technologies and organizational changes are planned and implemented. Questions concerning this policy should be directed to Data Processing.

Mr. VanDee voiced his concern that not everyone was aware of the changes. Chairman Harrington said all legislators were supplied with copies of the policy that established ground rules and explicit parameters.

On the motion of Mr. Dwyer, seconded by Mr. Cornell and adopted, all members present voting aye,

RESOLUTION NO. 492-00

CORTLAND COUNTY INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

WHEREAS, it has been deemed necessary that the procedure and policy pertaining Internet use in County departments be clarified and adopted,

On the motion of Mr. Dwyer, seconded by Mrs. Brown and adopted, all members present voting aye,

BOARD OF ELECTIONS

WHEREAS, increased voter registration and subsequent increased expenses for elections have depleted our accounts,

54055 Professional Services 9,000.00

On the motion of Mr. Dwyer and seconded by Mrs. Price, Agenda No. 15 (Authorize Purchase, Copy Machine, Central Services) was introduced on the floor.

AUTHORIZE PURCHASE

COPY MACHINE

CENTRAL SERVICES

WHEREAS, Central Services is in need of a new copy machine to properly serve Cortland County AND

WHEREAS, the lowest quotation was received from Danka, NOW THEREFORE BE IT

RESOLVED, that upon signing of the contract by the County Attorney or his designee, the Personnel Officer is authorized to purchase a Kodak 95 photocopier from Danka at a cost of $5,017 which is the total cost for a two-year lease with purchase at the end of two years, and BE IT FURTHER

RESOLVED, that the Personnel Officer is authorized to purchase a service contract for the above-referenced photocopier at an annual cost of $1,944.

Mr. Wern made the point that all departments should be made aware of the new equipment and the improved capacity and capability. Mrs. Brown said she thought it was too much money and questioned the cost of buying the equipment outright and the expense of the service contract. Mr. Hugh Hurlbut, Director of Personnel/Civil Service, said the service contract covered everything except the paper and the County could purchase the copier for $1.00 after two years. Mr. Hurlbut said this was the most economical of the five proposals that were presented. He said the machine could be purchased outright for $4,400. Mrs. Brown offered a friendly amendment that would eliminate the last resolve (Resolved, that the Personnel Officer is authorized to purchase a service contract for the above-referenced photocopier at an annual cost of $1,944.) and was seconded by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Forbes suggested that the equipment be purchased outright. Before a vote, Mr. Hurlbut suggested to Mr. Dwyer that the item be tabled until he (Mr. Hurlbut) could gather all the information that was being requested. All motions were withdrawn and Agenda No. 15 was tabled until the next session.

On the motion of Mr. Thomas, seconded by Mr. Cornell and adopted, all members present voting aye, except Mrs. Contento voting nay,

RESOLUTION NO. 494-00

SETTING COMPENSATION

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT BOARD

WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Soil and Water Conservation District Law authorizes a County Legislature to authorize payment of per diem compensation and mileage in going and returning from official business for their appointees on a Soil and Water Conservation District Board, AND

WHEREAS, such compensation is contingent on funds being provided by the County Legislature for this purpose, AND

WHEREAS, this Legislature wishes to compensate its appointees to said Board for their service to the County, AND

WHEREAS, the appointees to the Soil and Water Conservation District Board have been receiving $15.00 per diem compensation as set by this Legislature on July 10^th, 1996, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, that the per diem compensation of this Legislature’s appointees to said Board be and hereby is set at $25.00, AND, BE IT FURTHER

RESOLVED, that the Legislature’s appointees to said Board be and hereby are authorized to continue receiving mileage at the general County rate for travel necessary to said Board’s business.

Mrs. Contento said she would vote no because they needed to consider all the other boards and the ultimate expense to the County. Mr. O’Mara said it was mandated that this board receives a stipend. He said their meeting were frequent and long and were very demanding. Mr. Thomas said we ask these people to serve and they need to be compensated in some small way. Ms. Amanda Barber, Director of the Soil and Water Conservation District, said the law provides for the stipend and there were only three people involved for an approximate cost to the county of $360 - $500 per year. She added that these were people that the legislature had asked to serve. Chairman asked if the law said "allowed or provided for a Stipend"? He also asked if anyone remembers when and how the Board came under the umbrella of the County Legislature. He said it is a quasi department. Mr. Law said a local law had set up the Soil & Water Conservation District Board as a separate agency.

RESOLVED, that the Cortland County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to pay the persons holding the positions of Recycling Attendant (PT) in biweekly installments.

Mr. Forbes said he thought it was law that all vacancies had to come to the legislature to be filled. Mr. VanDee said this is a part time position and both the Highway and Sheriff’s Department fill their part time positions without coming to the legislature. Mr. O’Mara reminded everyone of the high turnover in this position. Mr. Law agreed with Mr. Forbes that it was policy for all jobs to come before the legislature to be filled. Mrs. Brown suggested that it should be decided on a department by department basis. Mr. VanDee agreed and said it would help the departments, particularly the small one, if they could fill these positions immediately, rather than waiting for the next legislative session. Chairman Harrington agreed with Mr. Law and Mr. Forbes, suggesting that the resolution be reviewed and perhaps changed.
