<br /> <br />prefer a paper copy of this Handbook, please let your staff liaison know and the Clerk’s <br />Office will print one for you. <br /> <br />Director Paetznick reported State law requires that all City employees and officials follow <br />data practices and record management laws. Additionally, state law mandates that the public <br />be provided with the ability to communicate with all elected and appointed officials. To help <br />meet these requirements, the City has historically provided commissioners with City email <br />addresses and city‐owned electronic devices to be used to conduct City business. This <br />waiver informs Commissioners of the risks of using personal devices and emails so each <br />individual can make an informed choice that is best for them. The waiver helps the City <br />document each individual commissioner’s preferred way for the public to contact them. It <br />also helps staff know who to ask for data from personal devices to make sure the City is <br />meeting its legal obligations regarding data and records. Two paper copies of this waiver will <br />be available for each commissioner when they arrive to the meeting. We ask that you <br />complete and sign both forms. Please give one to your staff liaison and keep the other for <br />your records. <br /> <br />Discussion included: <br /> The Commission thanked staff for the information. <br /> <br />VI.
