drug-free workplace environment for all its employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

dispensation, possession, consumption, or use of a "controlled substance" is prohibited in the
work place. It is a condition of employment and continued employment in the City that each
employee abide by the terms of this policy. Any employee convicted of any criminal drug
statute for a violation occurring in the workplace shall advise the Human Resources Office of
the conviction within five days after the conviction. Within 30 days of receiving such
notification, the City may take appropriate disciplinary action as provided under the Personnel
Rules; or require such employees to participate satisfactorily in a drug abuse assistance and
rehabilitation program approved for such purposes by a Federal, State or local health, law
enforcement, or other appropriate agency. Convicted employees who are allowed to enroll in
a program may be required to do so under City -imposed conditions based on the nature and

provisions of this rule.
