Glendale Village Wide Email System Policy
Effective 1.1.2008
It is the goal of the Village of Glendale Administrator to encourage voluntary subscription of all households (1,070) to the Village Wide Email System so that meaningful government public service announcements and notices may be sent to each and every computerized household in a timely fashion. The system currently has apx. 580 computerized household subscribers. This email system has been in effect since 2005. As a result of several years of requests and feedback, the Village of Glendale finds it beneficial to establish basic guidelines and policy to continue the growth of enrollment, protect the privacy of subscribers, respect the wishes of subscribers and avoid subscriber’s perception of spam.
