Administration Committee advances wearable-recording-device policy for employees
Summary
The committee endorsed a draft policy on smart glasses and other wearable recording devices as an employee rule and voted to move the draft forward for inclusion in the employee handbook on May 12, 2026.
Price County’s Administration Committee reviewed a draft policy May 12, 2026 that would regulate County employees’ use of smart glasses and other wearable recording devices. Staff characterized the proposal as an employee-focused rule rather than a public-facing restriction. On a motion by Joe Baratka, seconded by Paula Houdek, the committee voted to advance the policy for handbook inclusion; the motion carried.
Committee members noted the policy was brought forward as a precaution and that there had been no current issue with employees recording with smart glasses. The committee did not adopt final handbook language at the meeting; it voted to move the draft forward for subsequent consideration and incorporation into handbook verbiage.
