Presentation by Patrick Wren on Credit
Cards. A person who comes into court or the clerk’s
office would be able to use a credit card for payment. The person would be the one to call the
company for the use of his credit card and get approval after which it would be
faxed to the court or office it was generated from and if approved the funds
would go into the correct account or sent by check. The charges would be the responsibility of
the card holder at 3.5% if using the internet or 5% if using the call
center. There would be reconciliation
reports to be reviewed by the clerk. There
are 13 courts now using this system. (
Judge Struble stated that the office of court administration is asking courts to take credit card payments.
If there are any challenges the town would still get their money and it would be handled by GPS Inc.
Transaction made and approved then town gets money the following day.
Did not pass a resolution, Supervisor Ellis will fill out the worksheet and wants to have the attorney check it out first.

Cyber Security Citizens’
Notification Policy
A.
This policy is consistent with
the State Technology Law, § 208 as added by Chapters 442 and 491 of the Laws of
2005.
B. The Town of Nanticoke shall notify an individual, in compliance with
the Information Security Breach and Notification Act and this policy, when
there has been or is reasonably believed to have been a compromise of the
individual’s private
information, as defined in Section C. below, after consulting with the State’s
Office of Cyber Security and Critical infrastructure Coordination (CSCIC) to
determine the scope of the breach and restoration measures.
C.
A compromise of private
information means the unauthorized acquisition of unencrypted computerized data
with private information from the Town or from any third party maintaining such
information from the Town.
D.
If encrypted data is
compromised along with the corresponding encryption key, the data is considered
unencrypted and thus falls under the notification requirements.
E.
Notification by the Town may be
delayed if a law enforcement agency determines that the notification may impede
a criminal investigation. In such case,
the Town shall delay the notification only as long as needed to determine that
notification no longer compromises any investigation.
F.
The
Town will notify the affected individual directly by
one of the following methods:
1.
Written notice;
2.
Electronic notice, provided
that the person to whom notice is required has expressly consented to receiving
notice in electronic form and a log of each notification is kept by the Town
that notifies affected persons in such form;
3.
Telephone notification,
provided that a log of each notification is kept by the Town that notifies
affected persons; or
4.
Substitute notice, if the
municipality demonstrates to the state Attorney General that the cost of
providing notice would exceed $250,000, that the affected class of persons to
be notified exceeds 500,000, or that the Town does not have sufficient contact
information. The following constitute
sufficient substitute notice:
a.
E-mail notice when the
municipality has an e-mail address for the subject persons;
b.
Conspicuous posting of the
notice on the municipality’s web site page, if the municipality maintains one;
and
c.
Notification to major statewide
media.
G.
The Town must
notify CSCIC, the Attorney General and the Consumer Protection Board as to the
timing, content and distribution of the notices and approximate number of
affected persons.
H.
Regardless of the method by
which notice is provided, the notice shall include contact information for the
Town and a description of the categories of information that were, or are
reasonably believed to have been, acquired by a person without valid
authorization, including specification of which of the elements of personal
information and private information were, or are reasonably believed to have
been, so acquired.
I.
This Policy also applies to
information maintained on behalf of the Town by a third party.
J.
When more than 5,000
