Common use of Patrol Vehicles Clause in Contracts

Patrol Vehicles. The Highway Patrol may assign departmental vehicles for certain employees to use to properly perform their duties. If the Highway Patrol chooses to assign departmental vehicles to any patrol personnel for use in performing their duties, then it shall assign a patrol motor vehicle to each sergeant in field and plain clothes jobs. It is understood that the assignment of vehicles is the sole right of the Employer and will be made on the basis of operational need. Such vehicle assignments are based upon responsibilities of the employee and in part, on an employee’s availability to return to duty in a timely fashion when an emergency situation arises. The use of divisional vehicles is for official business purposes only and not for pleasure or personal use. If departmental vehicles are unavailable and an employee is required to use the employee’s own vehicle for official business purposes, the employee will be reimbursed with a mileage allowance set by the Director of the Office of Budget and Management (OBM). The mileage allowance shall not be set less than forty-five ($.45) cents nor greater than the Internal Revenue Service’s rate but if the Internal Revenue Service’s rate is reduced to an amount lower than forty- five ($.45) cents, the rate will be set at the Internal Revenue Service’s rate. If an employee uses a motorcycle, he/she will be reimbursed no less than thirteen ($.13) cents per mile. OBM will examine the mileage allowance quarterly. When the mileage allowance is changed, the Director of OBM shall provide OSTA with notice and a rationale for the change. The mileage allowance for bargaining unit employees shall not be set at a rate lower than the mileage allowance for exempt employees. All employees shall receive travel reimbursements via direct deposit. Employees shall authorize the direct deposit of the travel reimbursement into the same financial institution in which the employee’s paycheck is deposited or execute the required documentation to authorize the direct deposit into a financial institution designated by the Board of Deposits for the benefit of the employee. No employee will lose the opportunity to drive a motor vehicle to and from his/her residence if that restriction is imposed in conjunction with another form of discipline under Article 19 or as the result of the marital status of the employee. No employee who is married to another employee of the Employer shall be denied the right to drive a marked motor vehicle to and from his/her residence when one or the other spouse involved has been transferred or is assigned to another patrol car. All Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) cruisers used for enforcement purposes will be outfitted with the Fire Panel Vehicular Fire Protection System. If changes are made to future models of the CVPI or the parties identify other viable fire suppression systems to address the issue of fires resulting from rear-end collisions (i.e. gas tank placement), the mandatory requirement shall cease, but will be discussed at a joint Labor-Management Committee.
