Community Ambassador Phone & Equipment Policy

When eligible, Ambassadors will be supplied with appropriate work equipment and supplies, such as a work cell phone, phone charger, and possibly other electronic devices and equipment. Equipment is for work use only. As stated in the City’s Employee Handbook, use of City resources for personal, political, employee organization or other non-City business is strictly prohibited. City resources include, but are not limited to, facilities, equipment, devices, telephones, computers, copier, fax machine, email, internet access, supplies and any time for which you are receiving compensation from the City. Ambassadors are responsible for the safe-keeping and quality-care of any work equipment and/or supplies that are assigned to them. All equipment should be treated with care and stored in a safe place while on and off the job. 

Any lost, damaged, or misused equipment may not be replaceable, may result in loss of privileges, and may lead to disciplinary actions. The following guidelines have been developed to ensure proper use of office equipment.
