Mark: See my responses below your questions.
In general, For those who might feel that texting has to be controlled because
it can be a public record, subject to state retention rules, my personal
thoughts are that trying to control texting falls into the same category as
trying to control phone calls, face to face speech and gestures...I have better
things to do. :)

Subject: [oagitm] Texting policy
All,
Do you have employees who employ text messaging, via either personal or
org-owned cell phones, to communicate with each other or with clients/public?
Probably. We don't monitor personal phones. Departments get publicly owned
phone bills with no specific city policies in place to monitor usage. Most
follow a common sense approach.
If so, what is your policy regarding the use of text messaging? Thanks in
advance.
There is no policy other than one that states that all publicly owned
technology assets are for business use only, excepting incidental personal use.
That policy has been in place for at least 12 years. Seems to work.
Best regards,
