Resident asks about background checks, drug testing and felony hiring; praises EMS
Summary
Resident Jennifer Robinson asked whether the town conducts background checks and drug testing for hires, whether individuals with felony convictions can be hired, and praised Nutter Fort EMS for recent service to a family member.
During the public-comment period, Resident Jennifer Robinson asked whether the town conducts background checks when hiring; the mayor confirmed that they do. Robinson asked about drug testing; officials said testing is performed post-accident and when there is reasonable suspicion. She also asked whether someone with a felony could work for the town; officials replied that it depends on the position, as not all jobs permit applicants with past felony convictions. Robinson closed her remarks by thanking Nutter Fort EMS for recent care of a family member.
Those answers describe the town's current hiring practice as recorded in the minutes; the council did not provide a written policy or a citation to the town personnel code during the meeting. Anyone seeking specifics on hiring standards, screening criteria, or which positions disqualify applicants should request the town's personnel policy or contact the recorder's office.
