Port LaBelle updates HR policy; board adopts Resolution 2025-03 clarifying drug-screening rules
Summary
The board adopted updates to the HR policy manual and passed Resolution 2025-03 setting drug-screening procedures that distinguish federally required CDL testing from non‑CDL state testing and advising against random testing for non‑safety-sensitive positions, per the district's insurance counsel guidance.
The board reviewed updates to the Human Resources Policy manual and adopted Resolution 2025-03 to clarify drug-screening procedures. Staff relayed advice from the district’s insurance counsel that random drug testing is not generally recommended for non‑safety-sensitive employees and that federal regulations require CDL drivers to be screened using federal forms while non‑CDL positions use state forms. The revised policy aligns testing practices with those distinctions and records that the district will follow counsel’s recommended language to avoid mandatory random testing for non‑safety-sensitive roles.
Vice Chairman David Capitanio moved to accept the revisions and adopt Resolution 2025-03; Supervisor Nancy Imhoff seconded the motion and the board approved it. The minutes include counsel’s explanatory language: "I've been advising employers they should not do random drug testing for employees who are not in a 'safety sensitive/mandatory testing' position," language presented to the board as guidance from the insurance attorney. Staff will implement the revised HR policy and document screening procedures consistent with the adopted resolution.
