Notice Regarding City Meeting Packets and Public Information Security
The City of Bayfield is committed to transparency and open governance; however, protecting the security and personal information of our residents and staff is a top priority.
In light of a recent incident—where personal information from a publicly-posted meeting packet was used to fraudulent end—the City has updated its administrative procedures. Specifically, information was used to generate a fictitious, fraudulent invoice sent to an individual in the City's name.
To prevent further unauthorized use of public documents, the City has made it a practice to no longer post full meeting packets directly to the municipal website.
