Some employees may have access to the township’s e-mail system for township-related purposes. When transmitting messages via e-mail, employees should consider that e-mail messages can be read by persons other than the addressee and that the message may be later disclosed to outside parties or a court in connection with litigation. The public may have a right to request a copy of e-mail sent or received via the township e-mail system. Because of these concerns, employees shall maintain the highest standards of courtesy and professionalism when transmitting e-mail.
