individuals affected. However, the City reserves the exclusive right to terminate, transfer, or re-
assign one of the individuals involved, if necessary, to resolve operational or personnel problems

Section E -Drug Testing Policy
1. Policy:
Reporting to work under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs, or the use, sale, or

disciplinary action, including immediate termination. For the purpose of this policy,
substances that require a prescription or other written approval from a licensed physician
or dentist for their use shall also be included when used other than as prescribed.
Each employee must advise the employer if they are using prescription or over the
counter drugs they know or reasonably should know may impair their ability to perform
job functions and/or operate machinery such as automobiles.
Under appropriate circumstances, the employer may request the employee provide
written medical authorization to perform various job functions from a physician while
using such drugs.

problem will remain confidential and shall not be used as the basis for any disciplinary
action provided that the request for assistance is initiated prior to being identified as
impaired through the procedures herein.
The parties recognize the essential purpose of any law enforcement agency is to enforce
the criminal laws. Moreover, the parties recognize the courts have held it would
substantially impair law enforcement agencies if they were required to employ
individuals within their ranks who have violated the very laws said agencies are charged
8
with enforcing. Therefore, the employer reserves the right to refuse to employ or
continue the employment of individuals who are or have been engaged in criminal
conduct, whether drug-related or not.
When a supervisory employee has a reasonable suspicion to believe an employee is under
the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or is using illegal drugs, the employee in
question will be asked to submit to discovery testing including breath tests, urinalysis
and/or a blood screen for the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
An employee who refuses to submit to discovery testing for alcohol and/or illegal drugs
shall be conclusively presumed to be under the influence of alcohol or an illegal drug for
the purpose of administering this Section.
If the results of the drug test are positive, and establish that the employee used an illegal
drug, or reported to work while under the influence of alcohol, the employee may be
subject to discipline including immediate discharge.
2. Definitions:

operate equipment or vehicles or carry a firearm while on city business without a written
release from his/her doctor that the employee is deemed safe to perform such duties.

such requirements are consistent with the Trust guidelines. To establish eligibility for benefits,Trust guidelines require that eligible
employees must have the required number of hours in a month and have the contractually required contributions paid on their behalf.

eligible, has the contractually required number of hours per month,and has the required contributions made. The Trust,however,will
not recognize any contractual provision that conditions continued eligibility on having less than 40 or more than 80 hours in a month.
Eligibility will end according to the Trust's policy for employees that do not have the required number of hours and contributions in a
month and that do not qualify for an applicable extension of eligibility;if any.
