Summary
Pueblo County adopted a new policy that establishes how county government email accounts will be assigned to employees and, in limited cases, to third parties, with a review process through IT and the county attorney's office.
Pueblo County commissioners on July 15 adopted a policy that establishes procedures for issuing Pueblo County government email accounts to county employees and, in limited circumstances, to non‑county third parties.
Cynthia Mitchell, county attorney, said the policy outlines the process for determining when a third party or affiliated personnel may be issued a county email account; requests would pass through information technology and the county attorney’s office for review and approval.
Commissioners described the policy as a necessary security and organizational step. "I think this is just the natural and right thing to do, for security for this organization," one commissioner said.
The board approved the resolution by voice vote. County staff did not read the full policy text in the meeting record; the board directed relevant offices to implement the process through established IT and legal review channels.
