As I reported in an earlier memo, Mary Beth Curry at AMC/MCIT said alcohol testing <br /> • will be part of the MEDTOX Program and can be done either by a mobile unit called <br /> MedWorks or at a collection site. For alcohol testing, Ms. Curry indicated that the mobile <br /> unit is more convenient in that it can be done at the workplace so employees don't have to <br /> go to a collection site (like they do for a drug test) or be transported to a collection site. <br /> The charge per breathalizer test is estimated to be between $20 and $30. <br /> I faxed a copy of the contract and participation agreement to Bill Soth for his opinion. <br /> Bill has passed it on to Doug Christensen to review since he will be on vacation. Mr. <br /> Christensen indicated that the contract and participation agreement are fine. I also asked <br /> him about combining the City's current drug and alcohol testing policy with one to be <br /> implemented for CDL employees. He indicated that we could not combine them, unless <br /> we indicated that part A was for one group of employees and part B was for those <br /> employees required to have CDL's for their job or position with the City. It was his <br /> opinion that they should be completely separated so as not to cause any confusion. <br /> Connie and I are working on putting a policy together for review by you and the City <br /> Council. MCIT/MEDTOX provided a model policy and I have a sample policy from <br /> Bloomington as well. They both are fairly similar and we are tailoring them to fit the <br /> needs of the City as well as the requirements of the federal legislation. Once it is <br /> complete, I will copy you and send a copy to Bill for his review as well. <br /> • <br /> MEDTOXIMEM rev.9/95 <br /> r <br /> • <br />
