The current Motor Vehicle Safety Policy requires annual driving records checks to be <br />done on all employees. Through these annual checks, points are to be applied to <br />violations and certain actions are to be taken based on points. Staff feels these annual <br />checks are unnecessary since the Motor Vehicle Safety Policy does require any employee <br />operating a City vehicle to notify their department head should they lose their driving <br />privileges or become uninsurable for motor vehicle operation for any reason. The policy <br />also requires the Washington County Sheriff s Office to conduct a driving record check <br />prior to hiring any person for a position that requires the operation of a motor vehicle. <br />Staff feels these requirements are sufficient and would like to move them to its own <br />section in the personnel policy. The Motor Vehicle Safety Policy also has a section on <br />"Reporting" which is done differently than the City's current practice with OSHA, and <br />should be eliminated. <br />Staff recommends Council approve adoption of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy for <br />Commercial Drivers, elimination of the Motor Vehicle Safety Policy, and revisions to the <br />Personnel Policy as referenced above. <br />
