Employees may, upon specific written direction or approval of the Town Council of the Town of Bargersville (the "town"), be assigned a town-owned vehicle that can be taken to and from the employee's home ("take"home vehicle"). A take-home vehicle is a privilege determined at the Town Council's sole discretion, and, as such, no employee is entitled to a take-home vehicle as part of employment with the town. These vehicles represent a significant investment of capital and trust by the town and should always be used and maintained with efficiency, cost, and the public trust in mind. Take-home vehicles are, at all times, the sole and exclusive property of the town, and there is no expectation of privacy while using, controlling, maintaining, or occupying them. Take-home vehicles may be entered, inventoried, towed, examined or searched at any time at the direction of the employee's supervisor, Town Manager, or the Town Council. All employees authorized to have a take-home vehicle are expected to follow the requirements of this policy.
