This program may be cited as the "Identity Theft Prevention Program Implementation Ordinance of 2009."
A. 
The City of El Paso has developed this Identity Theft Prevention Program ("Program") pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags Rule ("Rule"), which implements Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. (16 CFR 681.2)
B. 
This Program was developed with oversight and approval of the City Council. After considering the size and complexity of the City of El Paso's operations and account systems and of the nature and scope of the City of El Paso's activities, the City Council determined that this Program was appropriate for the City of El Paso, and therefore approved this Program on April 6, 2009.
This Program applies to the creation of, modification of, and access to the identifying information of the holder of a covered account by any and all personnel of the City of El Paso, including management personnel. This Program does not replace or repeal any previously existing policies or programs addressing some or all of the activities that are the subject of this Program, but rather it is intended to supplement any such existing policies and programs.
