By my signature below, I certify my acknowledgement of, and agreement to, the following:
1. I have been designated as Relevant Personnel by the City or SCSA, and provided with access to Confidential Information, because the City or SCSA believe that such access is necessary to carry out the City and SCSA’s analysis of event co sts, revenues, or public health and safety support responsibilities, or to implement City/SCSA even t support obligations for FWC. My agreement to the terms of this Acknowledgement is a necessary prerequisite to my access to the Confidential Information.
2. I acknowledge and agree that I have a duty to keep all Confidential Information that I am given access to pursuant to the Agreement in the strict est confidence. I will not share, distribute, or discuss the Confidential Information in any manner or form with any person who has not been designated as Relevant Personnel. This includes members of the general public as well as other City employees, officials, or City consultants.
3. Confidential Information may be marked as “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” or with other similar designation on the document itself, or in a cove r transmittal, or may be communicated to me verbally. I will carefully review the information I receive to ensure I am familiar with the confidentiality of the information. If I am unsure of the confidentiality of information I receive related to the FWC event, I will seek clarification from the City Attor ney prior to sharing, distributing, or discussing the information with any person or entity.
4. I have a duty to maintain the integrity of the format in which I receive the information. For example, if I have been provided with electronic read-onl y access to documents or other information, I will not download, print, photograph, or otherwise duplicate it.
5. I have been provided with a copy of this si gned Acknowledgement with the Agreement attached.
I have read, understand, and agree to the terms above:
