Introduction
This section outlines the policy to be used in administering and coordinating all technology resources for the Village of Romeoville (Henceforth referred to as Village). It is the policy of the Village, wherever economically possible, to establish and maintain state of the art information technology, and to provide access to said technology for furthering the goals and the objectives of the Village. The ability of the Village to operate effectively is reliant upon the proper operation of its computers and the security and integrity of its data. It is critical that employees understand how to use the Village's technology resources within the scope of their job duties, Village policies, and the law. This policy documents the users' responsibility to safeguard computer and telecommunications equipment and information from accidental or deliberate unauthorized access, tampering, snooping, distribution, or destruction. It sets forth what is, and is not, appropriate use of Village technology resources. The failure of employees to comply with the provisions outlined in this policy may result in corrective or disciplinary action up to and including termination.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure responsible and acceptable use of Village's technology resources. These resources and the data created, received, transmitted, or stored therein must be protected by unauthorized disclosure, modification, use, or destruction. Adherence to the policy will protect the Village and its employees from liability and business interruptions due to inappropriate use of Village resources and breaches of security.
In support of the Village mission of public service, the Information Technology department provides computing, networking, and information technology resources to the Village Board of Trustees, community of department employees, supervisors, and staff.
