A. Responsibility: Employees are advised and cautioned that, if they choose to identify themselves as City employees on social media, they are also to some extent portraying themselves as representatives of the City. As such, employees who identify the City as their employer or who post pictures of themselves wearing a City uniform or representing the City on social media are responsible for representing the City in a professional manner. The City encourages employees to think carefully before listing the City as their employer.
B. Disclaimer Required: If an employee chooses to identify themselves as a City employee, all social media postings that relate to City business must contain a disclaimer that the posting is solely the opinion of the individual employee and does not reflect the opinion, view or philosophy of the City or its elected officials, employees or agents.
