It is the responsibility of each user to comply with the policies and procedures set forth within this publication. It is understood that the records management of electronic public information is dynamic, and that it is impossible to anticipate every circumstance that may confront a TSSERR member. In situations that are not addressed within these policies, users are expected to respond and act in a way that ultimately reflects Tompkins County, and/or their respective agency’s, mission statement and priorities. Policies and procedures exist to maintain high levels of professional conduct, data integrity and overall records security. Therefore, conduct that deviates from these written standards will first be reviewed to determine if the situation required a deviation from stated policy, and will then be reviewed to determine whether the actions taken were appropriate, given the actual situation. Finally, the policies written for information transmitted or stored on systems and networks managed or hosted by Tompkins County are only a part of the direction provided to users. Written communication that is directive in nature from individual municipality supervisory or management personnel that is specific to the management of records or business processes unique to each TSSERR member has the same authority as any policy.
