Summary of Request

In accordance with initiatives outlined in the IT Master Plan, the Executive Office - Information Technology Division is developing a framework for Technology Governance. The two policies recommended for approval are in support of the recommendations identified in initiatives 83 and 91 of the IT Master Plan.

 

The establishment of the Acceptable Use policy outlines the acceptable use of County Information Technology resources by employees, contractors, and authorized users. The policy aims to ensure proper use of IT resources, minimize risks to the County’s systems and data, and promote consistency with County policies and any applicable compliance, regulatory and legal requirements.

The E-mail Retention Policy establishes guidelines for the retention and disposal of County of Mendocino e-mail records, in accordance with legal, regulatory, and business requirements. It also defines various roles and responsibilities for implementation of the policy, and departmental/operational responsibilities including the management of litigation holds.
