Internet Use Policy Page Two The following policies and guidelines will be applied to determine whether or not a particular use of the Internet is appropriate: 1. The intent of this policy is to make clear certain uses which are consistent with the purposes of the City of Colton, not to exhaustively enumerate all such possible uses. 2. The City Manager may, at any time, make the determination that particular uses are or are not consistent with the purposes of the City of Colton. 3. Malicious use is not acceptable. Use should be consistent with guiding ethical statements and accepted community standards. The Internet may not be used in ways that violates City policies, applicable laws or regulations. Use of the Internet and any attached network in a manner that precludes or significantly hampers its use by others is not acceptable. 4. Unsolicited advertising or conducting personal business over the Internet is not acceptable. 5. Use of the Internet for recreational games is not acceptable. 6. Use of the Internet to access sexually explicit material is not acceptable. 7. Unless specifically authorized by the MIS Department, the downloading from the Internet of any executable file or program is not acceptable. This should be designated as separate from the downloading of text or document files, which is acceptable at the discretion of the user. However, in such cases, it is the responsibility of the user to maintain adequate storage and delete old data. 8. Posting information, text, graphics, audio or video to the City's Internet site without approval from the City Manager is not acceptable. 9. Subscribing to any listservs or newsgroups without the written formal approval of the City Manager is not acceptable. The MIS Department will subscribe to newsgroups and/or listservs for authorized individuals. Any violation of the City of Colton's Internet Use Policy may result in actions consistent with the City's disciplinary policies.
