Morrill trustees reconsider drug-testing resolution after $4,000 cost estimate

Aug 12, 2025

The full story

Board members voted on Aug. 12 to reconsider Resolution 25-06 after Clerk Janine K. Schmidt reported that WPCI estimated the cost to drug-test all non-DOT employees would be substantial—about $4,000 plus fees—and would need to be completed within 30 days. Member Joe Conrad moved to reconsider; Member David Purviance seconded. The motion carried 4-1 (Purviance, Conrad, Engleman, Schledewitz in favor; Chairman Neal Hart opposed).
