PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND PROCEDURE. The physical examination and procedure are detailed in an addendum to this policy. Amendments to the addendum shall not affect any other section in this policy. Whenever a sworn supervisor deems a drug test necessary for any of the eight reasons listed in cause for testing, the manager or supervisor shall send the employee to the City’s medical facility for testing. If the employee is impaired or is for any reason deemed unsafe to transport him or herself to the facility, the manager or supervisor or designee shall transport the employee to the City’s medical facility for the test. The employee shall be paid for time spent at the examination. The City shall bear the expense of the examination, and shall provide transportation to and from the medical facility and the employee’s work site. The medical provider uses a certified National Institute of Drug abuse (NIDA) laboratory. The certification of laboratories performing drug testing for Federal agencies was developed by NIDA to assure strict adherence to the rigorous standards of testing and custody control form. Test results are returned to the Medical Review Officer (MRO). The initial test is a process called Urine Drug Screen # 37042N. If all results are negative, the test is complete. If a positive test result is noticed, a secondary test using the Gas Chromatography/Mass spectrophotometry (GCMS) method is conducted by the laboratory to verify the results. This test has been used as binding legal and medical precedent. If the subsequent test is negative, then the test is considered negative for all purposes. If the subsequent test confirms a positive finding, it is noted on the report and sent to the MRO. At this point, in cases other than THC and cocaine, the MRO will contact the employee to discuss the possibility that the person has taken medication (prescription or otherwise) that was not indicated on the original form completed by the employee. The employee is not informed of a positive result, he or she is just asked to clarify any drug intake. The final results are then sent by the MRO to the City. Drugs tested for include, but are not limited to Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine, Methadone, Methaqualone, Opiates, PCP, THC, Propoxyphene, and Alcohol. Cut off levels shall be consistent with the current guidelines issued by NIDA.

Testing shall be performed at a local medical facility selected by the City. The procedure used shall require an unbroken chain of custody from sample collection to return of the written report. A split sample (a test sample which is divided into portions for use in an independent testing of positive samples) shall be preserved to provide an independent test. If the initial test has positive results, the City shall conduct a confirmation test using a court admissible testing technique. If the confirmation test has positive results, the employee may re-test the sample at a laboratory of the employee's choice and at the employee's own expense.

After consulting with expert staff of the laboratory or laboratories selected to perform the testing, the City shall ensure that the test cutoff levels conform to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) standards. Test samples will be collected in a clinical setting, such as a laboratory collection station, doctor’s office, hospital or clinic or in another setting approved by the City on the basis that it provides for at least an equally secure and professional collection process. The City shall specify procedures to ensure that true samples are obtained. The City shall specify measures to ensure that a strict chain of custody is maintained for the sample from the time it is taken, through the testing process to its final disposition. Drug tests shall be performed by a laboratory selected based on its meeting standards that are the same or at least comparable in scope and rigor, as those used by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to certify laboratories engaged in urine drug testing for federal agencies.
