it. In addition to suspected abuse problems, we have also
had incidents where an employee 'has been accused of abuse,
have voluntarily agreed to a. test to disprove that
accusation, but was unable to take one due to our lack of a
policy.
The policy before you is very complete and non-
discriminatory. It does not allow for random testing (such
as ordering every third employee to take the test), but does
allow for testing of a substance use problem if it is
suspected. Even then, there is a process in which the
supervisor must document his suspicions and the Personnel
officer must agree there is reason for the suspicions. Only
then may a test take place.
If the policy is approved, the City will seek out a standard
place where testing will be done and a lab to analyze the
results. We will obtain your approval on these.
This proposed policy is very close: to one Nampa has. Similar
policies have been challenged and have been upheld in the
courts. Municipalities are especially subject to challenge,
but also have, because of the nature of our services, high
liability if substance abuse is involved. The Department
Heads have reviewed the policy and their suggestions are
incorporated in the copy before you.
Mrs. Ottens further stated that there is a new Federal
requirement that if you apply for Federal Grants, you have to
prove that you are a drug free work place. This proposed
policy will establish that we are a drug free work place in
the eyes of the Federal Government.
A copy of the proposed policy is attached to these minutes as
Exhibit A.
The following Resolution was presented by the Mayor:
BE IT RESOLVED That the attached Chemical Substance
Testing Policy be hereby adopted by the City Council, City of
Caldwell, Idaho, and included as an addition to the Personnel
Policy, to be effective this date, duly 16, 1990.
MOVED by Nancolas, SECONDED by Valdez that the Resolution be
passed authorizing the adoption of the Chemical Substance
Testing Policy as presented.

MOTION CARRIED
(AUCTION OF CITY PROPERTY - SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MARBLE FRONT ROAD
AND NINTH AVENUE ACROSS FROM LUBY PARR:)
Mrs. Ottens explained that on May 7, 1990, the City Council
adopted an ordinance declaring an excess of City property and
intent to sell said property at public auction. Furthermore,
the ordinance declared that a public hearing is to be held on
the 16th day of July, 1990, in the Caldwell City Council
Chambers at which time public testimony can be taken and said
property to be sold at a public auction to the highest bidder.
The Mayor declared the hearing open and asked if there was
anyone who cared to address the sale of the property as
described. As there was no one present who cared to testify
and no written testimony received, the Mayor declared the
hearing closed. He then opened the meeting for an auction of
the property and asked if there was anyone present who cared
to bid on the property.
Al Heck was recognized and stated that he would bid $5,000
for the property.
