The city shall ensure that all alcohol or controlled substances testing conducted under this policy complies with the procedures set forth in this title.

A. Alcohol.

1. Tests will be conducted under the guidance of a breath alcohol technician selected by the city.

2. The site(s) will afford privacy to the individual being tested. If the result of an initial test is an alcohol concentration of less than 0.02, no further testing is required and the results are transmitted to the DER in a confidential manner.

3. If the result of an initial test is an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, a confirmation test will be performed within 20 minutes. The results of an initial test and the confirmation test are printed on the breath alcohol test forms, signed by both the breath alcohol technician and the driver, and transmitted to the applicable designated employer representative (DER) in a confidential manner.

B. Controlled Substances.

1. The city requires testing for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine. Tests for these substances will be conducted under the guidance of the medical review officer selected by the city at one or more designated collection sites. Collection of urine samples will allow individual privacy unless there is a reason to believe that a particular individual may alter or substitute the specimen. It is a violation of federal law and this policy to adulterate or dilute a specimen during the collection procedure.

2. Test results are given to the medical review officer for analyzing and reporting to the applicable DER. (Ord. 12-001 § 3, 2013)
