The Department Head shall consider whether or not such activity is compatible with the employee's City employment. (b) If the Department Head determines such activity is compatible, he/she may authorize the activity in writing with a copy to the Personnel Officer. If the Department Head determines that the outside activity requires conditions or restrictions to achieve compatibility with City employment, then the Department Head will specify any conditions or restrictions in the written authorization.
(c) The authorization shall be valid only for the type of work and time period prescribed there.
SEC. 3 Determination of Inconsistent Activities
In making a determination as to the consistency or inconsistency of outside activities, the Department Head shall consider, among other pertinent factors, whether the activity:

(b) involves receipt or acceptance by the officer or employee of any money or other consideration from anyone other than the City for the performance of an act which the officer or employee, if not performing such act, would be required or expected to render in the regular course of their City employment or as a part of their duties as a City employee; or

RULE 31 - SOCIAL MEDIA USE
SEC. 1 Purpose
This rule is intended to address issues associated with employee use of social networking sites and to provide guidelines for the regulation and balancing of employee speech and expression with the needs of the City.
Nothing in this rule is intended to prohibit or infringe upon any communication, speech, or expression that is protected or privileged under law. This includes speech and expression protected under state or federal constitutions as well as labor or other applicable laws.
City of Ridgecrest
Personnel Rules
Employees are encouraged to consult with their supervisor regarding any questions arising from the application or potential application of this rule.
SEC. 2 Background
The City views social media as a significant form of public communication. In general, “social media” encompasses various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and content creation that creates, organizes, edits or comments on content, as well as combines or shares content on an employee’s own website or someone else’s.
Social media uses many technologies and forms, including but not limited to Web feeds, blogs, wikis, photography and video sharing, web logs, journals, diaries, chat rooms, bulletin boards, affinity sites, podcasts, social networking, fan sites, and virtual worlds.
Because the forms of electronic communications are rapidly expanding, the City holds all employees who engage in social networking to the same standards it holds for any public communications. Therefore, all employees are obligated to ensure that any public communication they make, including social media communications, must not adversely affect their job performance or the performance of their co-workers, negatively impact the reputation, mission, or function of the City, vendors or other persons who work on behalf of the City, or members of the public who are served by the City, nor adversely affect the City’s legitimate business interests.
SEC. 3 Privacy Expectation
Employees forfeit any expectation of privacy with regard to e-mails, text messages, or anything published or maintained through file-sharing software or any Internet site (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) that is accessed, transmitted, received or reviewed on any City technology system.
The City reserves the right to access, audit, and disclose for whatever reason any message, including attachments, and any information accessed, transmitted, received, or reviewed over any technology that is issued or maintained by the City. This includes the City e-mail system, computer network, or any information placed into storage on any City system or device. It also includes records of all key strokes or web-browsing history made at any City computer or over any City network.
The fact that access to a database, service, or website requires a user name or password will not create an expectation of privacy if it is accessed through a City computer or network. However, the City may not require an employee to disclose a personal user name or password, or open a personal social website, except when access is reasonably believed to be relevant to the investigation of allegations of work-related misconduct or otherwise compliant with Labor Code § 980.
City of Ridgecrest
Personnel Rules
SEC. 4 Individual Social Media Use
(a) Engaging in social networking during the workday can negatively impact employees’ productivity and work performance. Social media viewing, posting, etc. shall only occur during an employee’s specified breaks and meal times, out of the view of the public or other City employees, unless an employee is directed to work on social media for the purposes of the City.
(b) Only individuals authorized by the City Manager or their designee may publicly speak on behalf of the City.
(c) If employees’ posts on social media mention the City of Ridgecrest, its products or services, employees, customers and/or competitors, it is the responsibility of the posting employee to make clear that, while he/she is an employee of the City, the views posted are the employee’s and do not represent the views of the City in any official capacity. Employees must be clear, transparent, and honest in their online interactions and write in the first person. It is best to include a disclaimer such as “The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the City of Ridgecrest.” (d) Do not disclose information that may violate City policy or otherwise infringe on another employee’s, or customer’s confidentiality or privacy rights. Information published on social networks or blogs should comply with the City’s confidentiality and disclosure of proprietary data policies, in addition to any other state or federal law with rights to privacy.
(e) Employees may not use the City’s logo on their posts unless given written consent by the City Manager.
(f) Employees are responsible for what they write or present on social media.
Employees can be sued by other employees, vendors, customers, and any individual who views social media posts as defamatory, pornographic, proprietary, harassing, libelous, or creating a hostile work environment. The City will not provide representation to an employee if the employee is sued in any of these or similar circumstances. (g) If an employee makes a mistake or is notified of a mistake in a blog or post related to the City, coworkers, or City customers, the employee must correct or retract the information immediately.
(h) Employees should not speak to the media on the City’s behalf using social media without first obtaining authorization from the City Manager. Media inquiries should be directed to the City Manager.
(i) Employees should follow all City rules and regulations as applicable, including but not limited to those that protect individual privacy rights, anti-discrimination and harassment rules, anti-workplace violence rules, rules related to employee conduct, City of Ridgecrest
Personnel Rules
non-competition, confidential and/or proprietary information, disciplinary rules, and other relevant City rules.
(j) Employees shall not use City email addresses to register on social networks, blogs, or other online tools for personal use.
The City may take disciplinary action, up to and including termination, for violations of this rule. The City prohibits taking negative action against any employee, volunteer, associate, or member of the general public for reporting a possible deviation from this rule or for cooperating in an investigation. Any employee/volunteer who retaliates against another for reporting a possible deviation from this rule or for cooperating in an investigation will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
The absence or lack of explicit reference to a specific site does not limit the extent of the application of this rule. Where no rule or guideline exists, employees should use their professional judgment and take the most prudent action possible. Employees should consult a manger or supervisor if there is uncertainty.
RULE 32 - APPEARANCE STANDARDS
SEC. 1 Basis for Standards
These dress code, tattoo, and body piercing appearance standards are designed to promote the City’s legitimate and non-discriminatory goals to promote workplace safety and a professional image that is consistent with the employee’s job duties and level of public contact.
SEC. 2 Dress Code

The following dress code regulations shall apply to all City employees. If an employee has questions about how these standards apply to them, the matter should be immediately raised with their supervisor for consideration and determination:
