The Red Flags Rule becomes effective May 1, 2009. Like most utilities in Washington, <br /> the City of Everett Utility Services maintains continuing accounts with utility service customers, and many, if <br /> not all, of those accounts are "covered accounts" within the meaning of the Red Flag Rule. Because of this, <br /> the attached proposed City of Everett Public Works Identity Theft Prevention Program has been prepared for <br /> City Council approval. This proposed program is based on a model identity theft prevention program <br /> published by the Washington Association of Water and Sewer Districts. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Adopt a Resolution approving the City of Everett Public Works Identity Theft Prevention Program. <br /> 10 <br />
