USE OF CITY TELEPHONES AND CALLING CARDS
PURPOSE
To establish the policy for the use of City telephones and calling cards.
POLICY
Department directors may obtain a telephone calling card from the Telecommunica-
tions Division to charge official City telephone calls to their department utility budgets
while away from the office. Charging such call shall be strictly limited to official City
business. The department director may authorize the use of these calling cards by
others within their department. If a personal call is charged to the calling card, it is the
responsibility of the department director to make sure the City is reimbursed for the
cost of the personal telephone call.
If personal telephone calls are made from either the City's regular or cellular
telephones, the caller should make arrangements to reimburse the City for the cost of
these calls. One exception to this rule is, if an employee is required to work late, they
may telephone their family to inform them of their extended working hours.
If an employee has to make or accept an emergency telephone call from a City
telephone, they should likewise make arrangements to reimburse the City for the cost of
such calls.
The Telecommunications Division will make available to each department a listing of
the telephone calls charged to each telephone within each department.
