(Ord. No. 91-38, § 1, 6-18-91; Ord. No. 93-35, § 1, 9-21-93)
   Editor's note-Ord. No. 91-38, § 1, adopted June 18, 1991, enacted provisions concerning a service fee for dishonored checks, etc., to the city, such provisions have been designated as § 2-18 by the editor.
Sec. 2-19. Drug free work place.
   (a)   Policy statement. The City of Boynton Beach is committed to provide a safe work environment for its employees, our community and society. Substance abuse is a national problem which impairs the health and safety of employees, promotes crime and harms our community. The city is addressing this problem by instituting a drug free workplace program.
   Substance abuse is a complex, yet treatable disease. The ultimate goal of this policy is to balance the respect for individual privacy with the need to keep a safe, productive drug free environment. The intention is to prevent and treat substance abuse. The city would like to encourage those who use drugs or abuse alcohol to seek help in overcoming their problem. The city will attempt to assist an employee in obtaining treatment prior to taking disciplinary action when such treatment is associated with a first occurrence of substance abuse. The city considers substance abuse to be an unsafe and counterproductive work practice.
   The city's policy is in accordance with the Florida Drug Free Workplace Program as provided in Section 440.102, Florida Statutes and Chapter 38F-9., Florida Administrative Code. It is the intent of the city to adopt the policies and standards set forth in Chapter 38F-9. To the extent of any conflict between the standards established by this policy and the standards set forth in Chapter 38F-9 F.A.C., as amended from time to time, the standards set forth in Chapter 38F-9 shall prevail. Policies and standards contained herein and not addressed in Chapter 38F-9 F.A.C. shall control.
   To ensure a work place free from the influence of illegal drugs and alcohol abuse the following policy has been established.
   It is the policy of the city that an employee found with the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs in his/her system, in possession of, using, selling, trading or offering for sale illegal drugs or alcohol during working hours, may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. (City sponsored activities which may include the service of alcoholic beverages are not included in this provision).
   An employee reporting for work visibly impaired shall be considered unable to properly perform required duties and will not be allowed to work. If possible, the supervisor should first seek another supervisor's opinion of the employee's condition. Then the supervisor together with a representative from the personnel department should consult privately with the employee to rule out any problem(s) that may have been caused by prescription drugs.
   When an off-duty employee is called back to work and that employee has consumed alcoholic beverages, that employee shall disclose such use and decline callback. An employee shall not be disciplined for refusing to respond to callback when such employee has reasonable belief that he or she could not pass an alcohol blood level test. Employees who are on standby may be subject to callback [and] should not engage in social drinking and may not decline callback without being subject to discipline.
   If, in the opinion of the supervisor and a representative of the city manager's office or the personnel director or his or her department representative the employee is considered impaired, the employee should be sent home, after drug testing by a medical facility, by taxi or other safe transportation alternative, depending on the determination of the observed impairment, accompanied by the supervisor or another employee, if necessary. An impaired employee should not be allowed to drive. The prescribed test direction form shall be completed by the supervisor.
   Prescription drugs prescribed by the employee's physician may be taken during working hours. The employee shall notify the supervisor if the use of properly prescribed drugs will affect the employee's work performance. Abuse of prescription drugs will not be tolerated.
   It is the responsibility of the city's supervisors to counsel with an employee whenever they see changes in performance that suggest an employee problem. The supervisor may suggest that the employee voluntarily seek help from the employee assistance program or decide that the severity of the observed problem is such that a formal referral to the EAP should be made.

   (d)   Policy requirements.
      (1)   Conditions of pre-employment. The city will conduct preemployment screening examinations designed to prevent hiring individuals who use drugs.
         a.   To determine the suitability of employees to work for the city the following pre-employment conditions are established:
         All job applicants will be tested prior to employment for drug use and alcohol use. Any job offer which a job applicant may receive from the city is contingent upon successfully completing a required physical examination.
         b.   Any job applicant who refuses to submit to drug and alcohol testing as part of the pre-employment testing process will be refused employment.
         c.   Any job applicant who tests positive for drugs or alcohol use will be refused employment at that time.
         d.   Confidentiality will be maintained pursuant to this policy.
         e.   The city will not discriminate against applicants for employment because of the past abuse of drugs or alcohol. It is the current abuse of drugs or alcohol that the city will not tolerate.
      (2)   Current employee drug and alcohol abuse screening. The city will maintain screening practices to identify employees who use illegal drug(s) or abuse alcohol. It shall be a condition of continued employment for all employees to submit to drug screening under the following conditions:
         a.   Reasonable suspicion: All employees who are determined to be under reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol use (as defined herein), are required to take a drug and alcohol test.
         b.   Fitness for duty: All employees who are subject to routine fitness for duty medical examinations are required to take a drug and alcohol test as part of their medical examination.
         c.   Follow-up: All employees who have been referred to an employee assistance program or rehabilitation program by the city for drug and/or alcohol abuse are required to take drug and alcohol tests on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis for two (2) years after return to work.
         d.   Post accident or injury: Employees who are involved in a job related accident or incident, and whose impairment appears to be contributory, which results or might have resulted in bodily injury or property loss or damage.
      (3)   Employee assistance program. The city maintains an employee assistance program (EAP) which provides help to employees and their families who suffer from alcohol or drug abuse. (Refer to EAP policy)
         It is the responsibility of each employee to seek assistance before drugs and alcohol lead to disciplinary problems.
         To ensure the effectiveness of the drug free workplace policy, it is the responsibility of all employees to inform supervisory personnel of any activity that would lead a reasonable person to believe that drugs or alcohol are being abused in the workplace.
         a.   An employee's decision to seek assistance from the employee assistance program on a voluntary basis prior to any incident warranting disciplinary action will not be used as the basis for disciplinary action or in any disciplinary proceeding.
            On the other hand, using the EAP will not be a defense to the imposition of disciplinary action where facts providing violation of this policy are obtained outside of the EAP. Accordingly, the purpose and practices of this policy and the EAP are not in conflict but are distinctly separate in their applications.
         b.   Through the EAP, the city will provide appropriate assessment, referral to treatment and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse (subject to the provisions of the city's health insurance plan). Such employees may be granted leave with a conditional return to work depending on successful completion of the agreed upon appropriate treatment regimen and in accordance with the career services rules and regulations and any departmental rules and regulations. An employee's bank of sick or vacation time shall be used (in that order) for such leave.
         c.   Upon successful completion of a drug and/or alcohol treatment program an employee may be released to resume work but will be subject to drug testing on a periodic basis, at least quarterly, for up to two (2) years thereafter as a condition of continued employment.
         d.   Once a violation of this policy occurs, subsequent use of the employee assistance program, on a voluntary basis, will not affect the determination of appropriate disciplinary action.
         e.   An individual's participation in the program will not be made part of any personnel records, and will remain confidential except to the extent necessary to comply with this policy. Medical and insurance records, if any, will be preserved in the same confidential manner as all other medical records and be retained in a separate file as provided by law.
      (4)   Management's responsibility. Supervisors are responsible for implementing the drug and alcohol free workplace policy. It is the responsibility of the supervisors to observe the behavior of employees on the job as a precaution against unstable or unreliable behavior which could threaten the safety and well being of employees and the community.
         a.   Supervisors are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment by determining employees fitness for duty.
         b.   In the event a supervisor with the concurrence of a representative of the city manager's office or the personnel director or his/her department representative, has a reasonable suspicion that an employee may be affected by drugs or alcohol, the employee must be sent for drug testing. A form for reporting the reason(s) for drug testing is attached. [See the editors note following this section.]
         c.   In all cases when an employee is being removed from duty for drug testing, the supervisor should notify his superior at the earliest possible time.
      (5)   Employees responsibility.
         a.   It is each employee's responsibility to be fit for duty when reporting for work and to inform his supervisor if he is under prescription or nonprescription medication which may affect job performance.
         b.   In the event an employee observes behavior which raises a doubt as to the ability of a co-worker to work in a safe, reliable and trustworthy manner, the employee should report this behavior to his supervisor.
         c.   Employees who voluntarily enter a drug or alcohol treatment and/or rehabilitation program at the request or insistence of the city or, as a condition of continued employment, enter a drug or alcohol treatment and/or rehabilitation program are required to participate and complete recommended treatment. Any employee who enters a drug or alcohol treatment and/or rehabilitation program will be responsible for payment of the treatment and/or program. If the employee fails to comply with the treatment and/or the program, the employee will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
      (6)   Medical review officer's responsibilities.
         a.   The MRO will review all information from the testing laboratory in the event of a positive, confirmed test. The MRO will review any information from the employee or job applicant regarding the use of medication or other relevant medical information set forth in the form submitted prior to drug testing.
         b.   The MRO may request that the testing laboratory provide qualification of test results.
         c.   The MRO will provide his interpretation of positive, confirmed test results to the personnel director or his/her department representative.
         d.   The MRO will assist employees in an employee assistance program, monitor such employees' progress and confirm completion of the treatment program.

Sec. 2-22. Policy for naming city facilities.
   (a)   Purpose. The purpose of this policy is to establish a systematic and consistent approach for the official naming of streets, parks and recreational areas and other public facilities, buildings and rooms in buildings.
   (b)   Objectives:
      (1)   Ensure that streets parks, recreational areas and facilities, buildings and rooms in buildings are easily identified and located;
      (2)   Ensure that given names to streets, parks, recreational areas, facilities, buildings and rooms in buildings are consistent with the values and character of the area or neighborhood served;
      (3)   Encourage public participation in the naming, renaming and dedication of streets, parks, recreation areas, facilities, buildings and rooms in buildings;
      (4)   Encourages the dedication of lands, facilities, or donations by individuals and/or groups; and
      (5)   Encourages long term monetary sponsorship.
   (c)   Definition.
      Facilities means parks, recreation areas, streets, buildings, rooms in buildings and other facilities, or parts thereof, which operate for the benefit of the public and includes all property under the city's ownership, administration or control including buildings, structures, open spaces, public parks, natural areas, wetlands, environmental habitat and land, or parts thereof.
   (d)   Criteria.
      (1)   The policy of the city is to name facilities through an adopted process utilizing established criteria emphasizing community values and character, local history, geography, environmental, civics, monetary support and service to the Boynton Beach community.
      (2)   The following criteria shall be used in determining the appropriateness of the naming designation:
         a.   Geographic location (neigh- borhood, significant areas, etc.);
         b.   Natural features;
         c.   A person or place of historical or cultural significance;
         d.   A person, group, or feature particularly identified with the land or facility; or
         e.   Commitment for monetary sponsorship.
      (3)   The process to name facilities commences with a recommendation of the City Manager, Mayor or a City Commissioner that a city facility be named or renamed.
      (4)   Conditions of property donation as agreed upon by the donor and the city shall be honored regarding the naming of the facilities subject to these adopted policies.
      (5)   Names that are similar to existing facilities in the city should not be considered in order to minimize confusion.
      (6)   The city reserves the right to change the name to maintain consistency with these policies.
   (e)   Procedure.
      (1)   Naming or renaming of facilities.
         a.   A request for naming of a facility shall be initiated by a request by the City Manager to the City Commission or by request of any member of the City Commission through the City Manager.
         b.   City staff as designated by the City Manager will review the proposal for adherence to the stated criteria and authentication of statements relative to contributions in the case of an individual before forwarding to an advisory committee of five (5) persons appointed by the City Commission.
         c.   The advisory committee shall review the proposed naming or renaming and will offer the opportunity for public input on the proposed naming.
         d.   The advisory committee shall forward their recommendation to the City Commission for final decision.
      (2)   Renaming of parks, recreation areas, facilities, buildings and rooms in buildings. Renaming of facilities carries with it a much greater burden of process compared to initial naming. Tradition and continuity of name and community identification are important community values. Each suggestion or request for renaming must meet the criteria in this policy, but meeting all criteria does not ensure renaming.
