ORDINANCES - 2nd READING
6.A.
Consider Ordinance 1-2019 entitled AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE CITY OF OWENSBORO EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK POLICY 319 MAINTAINING OUR DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.
Technical revision of Drug and Alcohol testing in Policy 319 in the Employee Handbook is necessary to meet the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) random drug and alcohol testing rates found in 49 C.F.R. 655.45, which became effective January 1, 2019. The change means that annually, at least half of the Owensboro Transit System’s employees must be randomly tested for drugs. The policy revision consists of creating a separate Random Testing Pool (1A) containing only Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulated employees (Transit) to ensure that at least fifty percent (50%) of those are tested annually. Random Testing Pool (1B) will include all other DOT regulated employees.
