City of Galveston Cell Phone Policy Concerning Use of City-owned Cell Phones The cell phone policy indicates that personal long-distance telephone calls should not be charged to the City and must be reimbursed by the employee.

City Council member Tarris Woods’ Cell Phone Records Here are the cell phone records of Tarris Woods from 12/09/08 to 01/08/09. The Council member used 4,395 minutes. There were no numbers blacked out however, there were numerous calls made to other states including Florida, Virginia, California, Georgia, Alabama, and Massachusetts. One number was to a Rooms To Go. Other numbers were to private residences! Please notice that the council member made calls on weekends and even on Christmas Day! Obviously, those weekend calls and numerous calls on Christmas Day were not to address City business. Therefore, this Council member has used a City-owned cell phone for his personal calls to friends, relatives, and out of state furniture stores. Mr. Woods needs to reimburse the taxpayers of the City and should pay interest and penalty for the use of his City-owned cell phone for private purposes.

We were told by a Galveston business man who was at a recent Galveston City Council Meeting that City Manager, Steve LeBlanc, is making light of the situation by saying that the City pays a flat rate. As previously stated, the Internal Revenue Service requires City employees to pay taxes on any personal use no matter what the monthly rate is. Lupe Rushing, the Galveston Assistant City Secretary, provided a statement. "Accordingly, to the extent the requested information contains the home or personal cellular telephone numbers of city employees who made timely elections under section 552.024, the telephone numbers of those employees must be withheld under section 552.117(a)(1)." Therefore, this further proves that personal cellular telephone numbers have been blacked out.
