The Board hereby expresses its policy and purpose in the enactment of this chapter to be as follows:
(a) To provide uniform rules and regulations governing the use and operation of vehicles used on County business;
(b) To establish a uniform policy on transportation for officials and employees in the conduct of official County business; and
(c) To authorize by resolution of the Board detailed rules governing specific aspects of certain matters referred to in this chapter. (§ 1, Ord. 910, eff. June 25, 1981)
The rules and regulations set forth in this chapter shall be applicable to the use of County-owned and County-leased passenger vehicles, patrol cars, and trucks by all County officers, employees, and volunteers, including elected and appointed department heads. Such rules and regulations shall also apply to all vehicles used, owned, or operated by special districts (excluding fire districts) governed by the Board.
Under the regulations set forth in this chapter, elected and appointed department heads have the basic responsibility for the proper use of vehicles assigned to their departments.
In setting forth such rules and regulations, the Board directly and specifically charges each agency or department head with the responsibility of insuring that all officials, officers, and employees of their agency or department who operate vehicles on County business are thoroughly aware of the contents of this chapter and that they comply with such rules and regulations at all times.
