<br />8. Use of City Property <br /> <br />City facilities, equipment, supplies, and other City resources are made available <br />to help employees perform their job duties and are not for personal use. The <br />City, however, recognizes that under certain circumstances the employee's <br />occasional use of city telephones, computers, facsimile, e-mail, copiers, Internet, <br />and similar resources for personal use may be necessary or beneficial to the <br />City. The City may establish separate policies governing the use of specific <br />equipment. The City will discipline an employee for inappropriate or excessive <br />use of City equipment for personal use. Any personal use of City property should <br />meet the following guidelines: <br /> <br />1. It should be infrequent and of short duration (A short telephone <br />conversation) <br />2. It should be for a compelling reason and not for mere convenience (A <br />telephone call to arrange with a spouse to pick-up a child after school) <br />3. It should not interfere with the employee's performance of job duties (The <br />use did not prevent the employee from completing the job duties) <br />4. It should not result in any additional charge to the City (Long distance <br />telephone charge) <br />5. It must not be used for personal monetary gain or the employee's personal <br />business (Selling products over the phone or internet) <br /> <br />9. Smoking <br /> <br />Employees are allowed to smoke only in designated smoking areas that are <br />recommended by each department and listed in the City's Policies and <br />Procedures Manual approved by Council and subsequently amended. Smoking <br />includes: <br /> <br />1. Carrying or holding a lighted pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind or any <br />other lighted smoking equipment or device; <br />2. Lighting a pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind or any other smoking <br />equipment or device; or <br />3. Emitting or exhaling the smoke of a pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind or <br />other smoking equipment or device. <br /> <br />10. Drugs and Alcohol <br /> <br />Refer to the City's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy approved by Council as <br />subsequently amended. <br /> <br />Employee Policies Handbook/Page 33 <br />
