Title
Resolution amending the Lake County Employee Policies and Procedures section 9.1, Vehicle Operation Policy.
Staff Summary
• The County recognizes the need to establish work rules and procedures for employees who operate County owned or personal vehicles during the course of their employment.
• It is recommended the ordinance combine two current policies: the Vehicle Operation Policy and the Driver’s Selection Courses, previously amended in 1999 and 1985, respectively.
• The demonstration of fitness to operate a motor vehicle will be determined by Risk Management, which will be prompted by a review of the employee’s motor vehicle record instead of upon request of an administrator.
• The current policy provides for drivers to take a new driving test every two to three years or upon the request of an administrator. The proposed amendment adds language to allow the requirement of a driver test if, after review of the employee’s vehicle record, there is cause for concern.
