NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Supervisors in its
capacity as ex officio the governing board of those districts of
which it is the governing board adopts the following Alcohol and
Other Drug Abuse Policy:
I . The Government of Contra Costa County has the overall goals
of reducing the incidence of the abuse of alcohol and other
drugs through prevention and education together with
intervention and treatment. The County believes that
alcohol and other drug abuse is a condition requiring
professional intervention and recovery services. Because
Contra Costa County Government is committed to protecting
the health, well-being and safety of employees and the
public from hazards relating to alcohol and other drug abuse
by employees, it will: (a) encourage affected individuals to
seek professional help voluntarily at an early stage; (b)
assist supervisors in dealing with associated problems
related to work performance; (c) will assist supervisors,
fellow employees, and possibly family members in confronting
an employee's alcohol and other drug problems in the
workplace.
II . Pursuant to the requirements of the Federal DRUG-FREE
WORKPLACE ACT OF 1988 and the CALIFORNIA DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE
ACT OF 1990, it is the policy of the Contra Costa County
Government to continue to provide a drug-free workplace.
III . The manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use
of alcohol or a controlled substance is prohibited in the
workplace. The workplace includes all property under the
control and use of Contra Costa County.
IV. Any violation of this prohibition by an employee of a Contra
Costa County District may result in: ( 1) requiring such
employee to participate satisfactorily in a drug abuse
assistance or rehabilitation program; or (2) disciplinary
action up to and including termination.
V. An employee must notify her/his district head within five
days on any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation
occurring in the workplace.
VI . An employee will not be disciplined because she/he
voluntarily requests assistance for an alcohol or other drug
problem. However, seeking assistance or raising any claim
related to substance abuse does not relieve an employee of
her/his responsibility to meet the district's performance,
safety, or attendance standards, does not relieve an
employee of her/his responsibility to adhere to this policy,
and does not insulate the employee from discipline for
reasons other than seeking assistance for an alcohol or
other drug problem.
