Sumner County approves hiring waiver for applicant with 2013 DUI
Summary
The board approved a waiver request for an applicant with a 2013 DUI conviction from California after staff presented documentation showing completion in 2014 and no subsequent substance-related charges.
Sumner County approved a waiver request for a job applicant who disclosed a past DUI conviction from 2013 in California.
Amy presented the applicant’s file and told the board that the conviction was from 2013 while the applicant lived in California and that the court process was completed in 2014. Amy said the applicant had no other alcohol- or substance-related charges since then, and that the applicant recently returned to California to obtain supporting documentation for the hiring file.
Board members asked about drug-testing policies. Staff said the district requires pre-employment drug testing but does not maintain a continuous mandatory post-employment testing program in policy; random testing is used by some agencies and for some classifications. The board made a motion to approve the waiver, the motion was seconded, and members voted in favor.
No additional conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes for the waiver; staff said the state will not maintain the conviction record until a specified time and that the county will seek state-board approval for the waiver as required.
