Council working to adopt state-recommended privacy policy and training after League guidance
Summary
City staff said they are using a template from municipal associations and the state privacy officer to build a comprehensive privacy policy and training program to meet an approaching deadline.
Price City staff told the council they are preparing a new, more extensive privacy policy and related training after guidance from state and municipal sources.
A staff member said the Utah League of Cities provided a template and that the state privacy officer had contacted the city about requirements and timelines. “We used their template that they finally put out and kind of applied it to Price City,” the staff member said, adding the city is assembling an inventory of documents that may fall under the privacy requirements and will seek online trainings to meet the state’s expectations.
Why it matters: Officials said the new guidance goes beyond a simple website policy and covers public-records procedures and internal handling of requests. The city expects to present the draft policy to the council within weeks for review.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the draft policy, identify personnel responsibilities and recommend online training modules for staff to comply with the state guidance.
