The Greeley Tribune: Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway has again referenced his intention to sue the county amid an internal dispute over his decision to use a private email address for official business.

Emails to Conway’s public email address began bouncing back Monday, redirecting senders to conwaycommissioner@gmail.com.

Conway’s shift to private email could be problematic, according to Monday emails between Conway and Weld County Attorney Bruce Barker. Barker referenced several parts of the Weld County Code, including the following:

» All computer-related information, including email messages, are the property of the county and considered part of the county’s records even if the information resides on privately owned devices.

» The county has a right to inspect and review any email or other data stored on county computers and equipment or on privately owned devices if used in the course of county business.

» County officials may inspect and copy email and computer records when there are indications of impropriety by an employee.

Further, Barker said county emails may not be forwarded to employees’ personal email accounts, and the county removed the automatic reply Conway set up on his official email account.
