MINNEOLA -- Nine Minneola firefighters are trying to keep their names clean 
after their personal information ended up on the city's Web site.
The city clerk accidentally published the information.
Social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses and personal information 
from union application cards found its way onto the city's Web site for over 
36 hours.

The city clerk was updating the agenda for this week's city council meeting 
where the city will vote on recognizing the new union.
"The city clerk in this case, she does hundreds of thousands of pieces of 
document. This one slipped by. It's nothing intentional. We apologize," said 
Minneola Mayor David Yeager.
Minneola is giving all nine firefighters a one-year subscription to a credit 
monitoring service. The union president said he realizes this was an honest 
mistake.
The city manager is investigating the incident.

There is no word on whether or not the city clerk will be disciplined
