Committee considers minimum age, license requirement for county vehicle drivers
Summary
A motion was made to require drivers of county vehicles to be at least 18 and hold a valid license; the committee deferred a final decision and asked for more input from departments including the sheriff's office.
During discussion of the vehicle‑use policy, Supervisor Bill Metzinger moved that anyone driving a county vehicle must be a minimum of 18 years old and hold a valid driver's license. The motion was seconded and prompted questions about whether the requirement should apply to all departments, seasonal differences in response needs, and whether further analysis and departmental input were needed.
The committee did not adopt a final change at the meeting. Instead, members agreed to ask the sheriff's department and other supervisors to provide written descriptions of who currently takes vehicles home and under what conditions so the committee can weigh operational needs against concerns about mileage, equity and enforcement.
