(A) If the MRO informs the city that a positive drug test was dilute, the city will simply treat the test as a verified positive test. The city will not direct the employee to take another test based on the fact that the specimen was dilute.
(B) If the MRO directs the city to conduct a recollection under direct observation (i.e. because the creatinine concentration of the specimen was equal to or greater than 2 mg/dL, but less than or equal to 5 mg/dL), the city will do so immediately. The following provisions apply to all tests that the city sends the employee for under the directive of the MRO:
(1) The employee is given the minimum possible advance notice that he or she must go to the collection site;
(2) The result of the retest taken is accepted as the test result of record;
(3) If the result of the retest taken is also negative and dilute, the city will not make the employee take an additional test because the result was dilute; or
(4) If the employee declines to take a retest as directed in accordance with this policy, the employee has refused to take a drug-alcohol test.
