Meeting uthorization
REQUEST: The Finance and Administrative Services Department would like to provide
the Commission with an update on the status of the Identity Theft Prevention "Red Flag
Rules" Program.
SYNOPSIS:
The Identity Theft Prevention "Red Flag Rules" Program and related Red Flag Rules Privacy
Committee were established for the purpose of preventing identity theft. The committee meets
quarterly to evaluate the program's strengths and weaknesses. This informational provides a
summary of the incidents (Attachment 1) and process improvements since the committee's
inception.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The enforcement of the ruling of the Identity Theft Red Flags Regulation that was jointly issued
by the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of Thrift Supervision and several other governing
agencies: implementing section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003
(FACT Act) which was set for May 1, 2009 was delayed until December 31, 2010.
Although mandatory compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flags Regulation was delayed by
the regulatory agencies, Resolution 2009 -28 established an Identity Theft Prevention Program
and 'Red Flag' Rules Privacy Committee for the City of Winter Springs' Utility on April 27,
2009 (Attachment 2).
The 'Red Flag' Committee consists of the following positions along with the names of those
currently serving in those roles: Finance and Administrative Services Director (Shawn Boyle),
Controller (Donna Bruno - Borelli), Utility Billing Services Manager (Eileen Garner), Revenue
Officer (Iris Freeman), Information Technology Coordinator :Security Administrator (Joe
Alcala), and Police Detective (David Rainey).
Since adoption of the Red Flag Rules there has only been one confirmed incident of identity
fraud. However, because the forgery related to a disconnection request rather than the
establishment of service (issuing credit) it does not fall under the official purview of this
legislation.
Likewise, although the incidents cited in the log (Attachment 1) are technically not 'red flag'
cases, their review and evaluation by the Red Flag committee inspired improvements in the
City's processes and procedures. As a result of the committee's deliberations the following
process improvements have been identified and implemented:
• Remove social security number field from residential application form
• Remove secondary customer field from residential application form to clearly define
responsible party (i.e. collection issues, return of deposit, etc.)
• Additional measures to secure customer files
• Additional steps to further corroborate the source of faxes and emails
Goals for 2011:
• In -house Training by Detective Rainey
• Install lobby cameras
Fortunately, the City's experience with identity theft has been slight. Nevertheless, the Red Flag
Rules Privacy Committee routinely meets in order to maintain identity theft awareness and to
evaluate current policies and procedures. Since the acceptable of credit cards beginning in
September 2010, no incidents of fraudulent credit card use have been reported.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Lobby Cameras — approximately 51,000 from existing Utility Billing budget (1360- General
Fund)

IDENTITY THEFT PROGRAM
Effective date May 1, 2009
I. General Information
A ruling known as the `Identity Theft Red Flags Regulation' was jointly issued by the
Federal Trade Commission, Office of Thrift Supervision and several other governing
agencies ( "Agencies ") implementing section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT ACT) and is effective on May 1, 2009.
The Identity Theft Red Flags Regulation requires financial institutions to develop and
implement a written Identity Theft Program to detect, prevent and diminish identity theft
in connection with opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts.
Under the regulation only those financial institutions that offer or maintain `covered
accounts' must develop and implement a written program. A `covered account' is
defined as (1) an account primarily used for personal, family, or household purposes,
that involves or is designed to permit multiple payments or transactions and (2) any other
account for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to customers or the safety and
soundness of the financial institution or creditor from identity theft.
The Agencies believe that accounts such as credit cards, mortgage loans, cell phone,
utility, checking, automobile loans, and savings accounts are examples of accounts
designed to permit multiple payments or transactions and also contain a reasonably
foreseeable risk of identity theft.
II. Purpose
The goal of this policy is to ensure City of Winter Springs has an established written
procedure to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft and for security and storing of
customers' personal information. City of Winter Springs recognizes the responsibility to
safeguard customer's personal information during its collection, recording and handling
within the work place.
III. Scope
This policy applies to all city employees and service providers that have access to utility
customers' personal information that is submitted in person, by fax, mail, email and over
the internet. Any part or whole of policies and procedures written and developed will be
incorporated into the program where appropriate. This does not replace, but rather
supplements, any of the City of Winter Springs' standing policies.
3
IV. Responsibility
The City of Winter Springs must protect its customer data and implement policies and
procedures that meet standards established by the Federal Trade Commission by May 1,
2009. Therefore, the City of Winter Springs will continually report and monitor the
program's integrity, completeness, and deficiencies. Any oversight or patches to perfect
the program will be reviewed and amended annually when necessary.
V. Definitions
A. Identity Theft: A fraud committed using the identifying information of another
person.
B. Red Flags: A pattern, practice or specific activity that indicates the possible
risk of identity theft.
C. Identifying Information: Any name or number that may be used alone or with
any other information to identify a specific person; includes name, social
security number, date of birth, official state or government issued driver's
license or identification number, alien registration number, government
passport and employer or tax identification number.
VI. Privacy Committee
The City of Winter Springs Privacy Committee was established to create, drive and
monitor the program. A Privacy Officer functions as the head of the committee and
reports to a member of Senior Management regarding the outcomes and needs of the
Identity Theft Detection and Prevention Program.

engaged in identity theft.
B. Data Security and Storage
1) Various Cisco Devices are deployed and used to protect against intentional or
accidental intrusion into the city's data network. The Florida Department of
Law Enforcement conducts periodic audits of the city - network design and
security practices to ensure they meet the Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) policy. The Information Technology Manager coordinates
objective, third -party network - intrusion testing for the city network on a
periodic basis.
2) All Information Technology employees are subject to a full background check
by the city Human Resources Department and the City of Winter Springs
Police Department. All employees who function in the Information
Technology Department are required to pass a fingerprint -based background
check submitted through the City of Winter Springs' Police Department,
Seminole County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) and Florida Department of Law
Enforcement.
3) The Network Administrator provides the initial password for each employee
to access the system. The employee is required to create a unique individual
password. In our efforts to provide the City of Winter Springs with a secure
network, the Information Technology Department has adopted the use of
strong passwords and account lockout. Password and account lockout settings
are designed to protect user accounts and data by minimizing the threat of
brute force guessing of user account passwords. Employees are required to
change their password every ninety (90) days. The system will permit three
sign -on attempts, and then will disable the password. Upon termination,
employee accounts are immediately disabled.
7
C. Internal Data Base Security
System administrator passwords are known only to the Information
Technology staff and are not divulged to any person outside the Information
Technology Division.
D. Data Storage
System administrator passwords are known only to the Information
Technology staff and are not divulged to any person outside the Information
Technology Division.
E. Disclosure of Personal Information
1) Information is used as a means of identification, for intemal verification,
administrative purposes and for debt collection purposes.
2) The City of Winter Springs falls under the Public Records Law and all
records are open to inspection. Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, commonly
known as Florida's "Public Records Law," provides information on public
records in Florida, including policies, definitions, exemptions, general
information on records access, inspection, examination and duplication of
records. Florida's public records laws are very broad, and most
documents and records are available to the public. However, the laws do
provide specified exceptions such as social security numbers.
F. Data Retention and Disposal
Records are disposed of in accordance with state and federal law, including the
local records retention schedule issued by the State of Florida General Records
Schedule for State and Local Government Agencies and Public Utilities.
Documents with sensitive information are disposed by shredding.
G. Training Employees
A copy of the Identity Theft Detection and Prevention Program will be given to
all utility billing customer service division employees. Initial training sessions
will be set up to help the employee identify "red flags" and explain the policies
and procedures. The Identity Theft Program will be included in the initial
training of all new employees within the City of Winter Springs Utility Billing
Customer Service Division.
8
H. Handling Reports of Suspected Identity Theft
A zero tolerance policy is in effect for all fraudulent transactions within the
City of Winter Springs Utility Billing Customer Service Division. Once
written notification and verification is received of fraudulent activity from a
customer, banking institution or collection agency, the Utility Billing Division
employee will:
1) Proceed with notating and taking corrective actions on the account; and,
2) Gather all pertinent information that is available and immediately contact
the appropriate law enforcement agency to initiate a criminal investigation.
I. Reports, Reviews and Updates for Policy Enforcement
The Controller will conduct annual review of the current policy and report any
fraudulent activity to the Finance Director. The City Manager will approve any
recommended changes in policy. An annual report reviewing all incidents,
program revisions and goals will be submitted to the City Commission.
