Elk County Adds DOT Drug‑and‑Alcohol Testing Policy for Public Works
Summary
The board voted to add a DOT drug- and alcohol-testing policy to the County Policy Handbook for the Public Works Department to align testing procedures with federal guidelines.
Commissioner Perry Russell moved and Commissioner Jake Liebau seconded a motion to approve the DOT drug and alcohol testing policy and add it to the County Policy Handbook for the Public Works Department; the motion carried 3-0.
The board recorded the approval during new business on Oct. 14. The policy adoption places DOT‑required testing procedures under the county’s personnel and safety rules for Public Works employees. The transcript records the motion and the board’s unanimous vote; implementation details and administrative steps to operationalize testing were not discussed in detail during the meeting.
Any operational rollout or employee‑level communications will follow county policy procedures and may require coordination between Public Works and human resources.
