RE: Repeal Amended and Restated Drug and Alcohol Policy
Backaround
At the July 17, 2012 City Council meeting, staff recommended and the City Council approved an
amended and restated drug and alcohol testing policy to provide that random testing be
administered to all City employees who operate City owned vehicles.
Prior to proposing the amended and restated policy, the City inadvertently failed to meet and
confer with the police and fire unions on the matter as required per their respective MOUs. As
such, the City issued letters to the union presidents, with copies to their attorneys, stating the
following:
"We have heard your concerns regarding the recently adopted Amended and Restated
Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy (Resolution No. 2012-136), and in response we have
decided to recommend that the City Council rescind the policy at its August 21, 2012
meeting in favor of addressing it again later this year with the assistance and input of the
newly appointed Human Resources Director and City Attorney. We look forward to
working with you on a new policy at that time."
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council repeal Resolution No. 2012-136, which adopted the
amended and restated drug and alcohol testing policy.
Staff will work with all appropriate parties, including the police and fire unions through the meet
and confer process, to develop a new policy to be proposed later in the year.
