j-5
To establish the policy for the use of City telephones and calling cards.
POLICY:
Department directors may obtain a telephone calling card from the
Telecommunications 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.
