Question of Elk River Municipal Utilities Employees Use of Supplies and <br />Equipment <br />Current Policy: No Written Policy. By practice, employees on occasion use Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities supplies and equipment for personal use. This includes welding equipment <br />and supplies, vehicle wash bay, scaffolding, tree saws, etc. Personal use of vehicles or heavy <br />equipment is prohibited. Any equipment damage is repaired or replaced by employee. This <br />work practice has worked well with no abuses. Also copying equipment, fax and postage <br />machines are being used, with postage money being paid by employees. Also in the past, <br />employees have purchased items thru the company, taking advantage of the company discount, <br />but always reimbursing the company for the price of the item. I stopped this policy <br />approximately nine months ago when I discovered it was happening. <br />Proposed Policy_ <br />All EIk River Municipal Utilities property and equipment is publicly owned. Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities owned equipment and facilities of significant value are not available for <br />personal use by employees. Personal use of all Elk River Municipal Utilities vehicles, <br />machinery, tools, and other equipment of significant value is strictly prohibited. Copy and fax <br />machines are allowed to be used for personal use but usage should be kept to a minimum. <br />~~ <br />
