The <br /> City shall require a driver to submit to an alcohol test when the appointing <br /> authority has reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver has violated the <br /> provisions of federal law concerning alcohol. The City's determination that <br /> reasonable suspicion exists to require the driver to undergo an alcohol test <br /> must be based on specific, current, articulable observations concerning the <br /> appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of the driver. <br /> City's Determination of Reasonable Suspicion of Controlled Substance <br /> Violations. The City shall require a driver to submit to a controlled <br /> substance test when the appointing authority has reasonable suspicion to <br /> believe that the driver has violated the prohibitions of federal law or this <br /> policy concerning controlled substances. The City's determination that <br /> reasonable suspicion exists to require the driver to undergo a controlled <br /> substance test must be based on specific, current, articulable observations <br /> concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of the driver. <br /> The observations may include indications of the chronic and withdrawal <br /> effects of controlled substances. <br /> 382.307 (c) Trained Supervisor of Driver. The required observations for alcohol <br /> (c) and/or controlled substance reasonable suspicion testing shall be made by a <br /> supervisor or an employee of the City who is trained in accordance with <br /> federal law. The person who makes the determination or who observes or <br /> assists with making the determination that reasonable suspicion exists to <br /> conduct an alcohol test, shall not conduct the alcohol test of the driver. <br /> 382.307 (d) Timing of Reasonable Suspicion Observations. Alcohol testing is authorized <br /> by federal law and this policy only if the observations required by paragraph <br /> (c) above are made during, just proceeding, or just after the period of the <br /> workday that the driver is required to be in compliance with federal law and <br /> these rules. The driver may be directed by the City to only under go <br /> reasonable suspicion testing while the driver is performing safety sensitive <br /> functions, just before the driver is to perform safety sensitive functions, just <br /> after the driver has ceased performing such safety sensitive functions or while <br /> the driver is in a state of readiness to perform safety sensitive functions. <br /> (e) City's Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy. If the driver is not performing <br /> safety sensitive functions and reasonable suspicion exits, drivers may be tested <br /> for drugs and alcohol under the City of St. Anthony Drug and Alcohol <br /> Testing policy. <br />
