Section 119.071 (5), Florida Statues, gives authority for the City of Greenacres to collect social
security numbers if it is stated in writing the purpose for its collection and is specifically
authorized by law to do so or it is imperative for the performance of the City’s duties and

• to perform background investigation checks for employment; or
