CONSTABLE PCT 5 f 206 N WASHINGTON BRYAN, TEXAS 77803 January 9, 1997 . To The Honorable Commissioner's Court: At the request of the Commissioners Court, I have reviewed my ( original requested budget amendment and have removed from it , everything that could possibly be delayed until the next budget year. The details•of ,r-he.revised budget requests are attached, but in summary my requests includes an increase of $1,665.00 to Departmental supplies 6 support and a capital increase request of $2966.00. In addition there•is a $15,810.00 increase request for the full time clerk position. Although I am requesting a full years • 'a • salary, it would not all be spent since we are approximately r: i a 1/3 into the 96-97 budget-year. This means less than $11,000.00 would be spent this budget year. I therefore respectfully request your consideration of these budget amendments. - t ~ - ? k " - v ~ ~ Y , ' .fit t L :1 I v' ~ .0.'r.. ~xoy .c :-,r. .w. ..d•.... ..W:r~. ~'.,,I.r,:yiy`,' ~7~k&+h wiel~x.~•, .

The County maintains that the work environment is safer and more productive without the presence of alcohol, illegal or inappropriate drugs in the body or on County property. Furthermore, drivers have a right to work in an alcohol and drug- free environment and to work with drivers free from the effects of alcohol and drugs. Drivers who abuse alcohol or use drugs are a danger to themselves, their co-workers and the County's assets. • • The adverse impact of substance abuse by drivers has been recognized by the federal government. The Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA") has issued regulations which require the County to implement a controlled substance testing program. The County will comply with these regulations and is committed to maintaining a drug-free work-place. All drivers are advised that remaining drug-free and medically qualified to drive are conditions of continued employment with the County. Specifically, it is the policy of the County that the use, sale, purchase, transfer, possession or presence in one's system of any controlled substance (except medically prescribed drugs) by any driver while on County premises, engaged in County business, while operating County equipment, or while under the authority of the county is strictly prohibited. FHWA stated that mandatory testing must apply to every person who operates a commercial motor vehicle in interstate or intrastate commerce and is subject to the CDL licensing requirement. The execution and enforcement of this policy will follow set procedures to screen body fluids (urinalyses), conduct breath testing, and/or search all driver applicants for alcohol and drug use, and those drivers suspected of violating this policy who are involved in a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) reportable accident or who are periodically or randomly selected pursuant to these procedures. These procedures are designed not only to detect violations of this policy, but to ensure fairness to each driver. Everyeffort will be made to maintain the dignity of drivers or driver applicants involved. Disciplinary action will, however, be taken as necessary. Neither this policy nor any of its terms are intended to create a contract of employment or to contain the terms of any contract of employment. The County retains the sole right to change, amend or modify any term or provision of this policy without notice. This policy is effective January 1, 1997, and will supersede all prior policies and statements relating to alcohol or drugs for CDL drivers.

In the sole discretion of the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator, a driver may be i temporarily removed, with pay, from a safety-sensitive position if deemed appropriate. IV. PROHIBITIONS A. Alcohol Prohibitions: The new alcohol rule prohibits any alcohol misuse that could affect performance of a safety- sensitive function, including: 1. Use while performing safety-sensitive functions. . 2. Use during the 4 hours before performing safety-sensitive functions. 3. Reporting for duty or remaining on duty to perform safety-sensitive functions with an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater. 4.

Testing positive for drugs; and 3. Refusing to take a required test. All drivers will inform the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator of any therapeutic drug use prior to performing a safety-sensitive function. { 1 { V. DRIVER APPLICANT AND CURRENT DRIVER TESTING A. Applicant Testing: All driver applicants will be required to submit to and pass a breath alcohol test and a urine drug test as a condition of employment. Job applicants who are denied employment because of a positive test may reapply for employment after six months. Offers of employment are made contingent upon passing the County's medical review, including the alcohol and drug test. Driver applicants who have received firm employment offers are to be -cautioned against giving notice at their current place of employment, or incurring costs associated with accepting employment with the County until after medical clearance has been received. Under no circumstances may a driver be hired to perform a safety-sensitive function until a.confirmed negative result is received. Driver applicant drug testing shall follow the collection, chain of custody, and reporting procedures as set forth in CFR 49 Part 40. B. 'Owner-operators': Owner-operators engaged by the County are not employees of the 1 County, nor are they to be considered'as such under this Policy. However, every r owner-operator engaged to provide services to the County who are not under a DOT approved drug and alcohol testing program must agree to, and successfully participate in the county's alcohol and drug testing program. All owner-operators agreements 1 will be enter into by the County contingent upon the operator's successful completion of urinalyses and breath analysis under all phases of the County's program, and are contingent upon the owner-operator's continued status as a medically qualified driver.

C. "Employee Drivers": Under all circumstances, when a driver is directed to provide either a breath test or a urine sample (Appendix C) in accordance with these procedures, he/she must immediately comply as instructed. Refusal will constitute a positive result, and the driver will be immediately removed from the safety-sensitive function, and will be terminated. 1. Suspicion-Based Testing: A. Reasonable Suspicion: If a driver is having work performance problems or displaying behavior that may be alcohol or drug-related, or is otherwise demonstrating conduct that may be in violation of the Policy where immediate management action is necessary, a supervisor, with the concurrence of the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator, will require that driver to submit to a breath test or urinalysis. The following conditions are signs of possible alcohol or drug use (not all-inclusive): * Abnormally dilated or constricted pupils * Glazed stare - redness of eyes (sclera) * Flushed face * Change of speech (i.e. faster or slower) * Constant sniffing * Increased absences * Redness under nose * Sudden weight loss * Needle marks * Change in personality (i.e. paranoia) * Increased appetite for sweets * Forgetfulness-performance faltering - poor concentration * Borrowing money from co-workers or seeking an advance of pay or other unusual display of need for money * Constant fatigue or hyperactivity * Smell of alcohol * Slurred speech * Difficulty walking * Excessive, unexplained absences * Dulled mental processes *Slowed reaction rate B. Supervisors must take action if they have reason to believe one or more of the above-listed conditions is indicated, and that the substance abuse is affecting a driver's job performance or behavior in any mann.r. A Page 8. , vc~ L:EAU . . t-v - - J.:u...•.ul. ' Ir -i _.y ..i d~ u.. ar- .x_ _ .•1 ..r,.. ?i ...,w..• .~;w+. u'.i•e.G..6 ' r _ t supervisor observing such conditions will take the following actions immediately after conferring with the County Engineer: , P • Confront the employee involved, and keep under direct observation until i G the situation is resolved. • Secure the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator's concurrence to observation; job performance and County policy violations must be specific. • After discussing the circumstances with the County Engineer, the i E, Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator will arrange to observe or talk with the driver. If he/she believes, after observing or talking to the driver, that the conduct or performance problem could be due to substance abuse, t' the driver will be immediately required to submit to a breath test or urinalysis. If the driver refuses to submit to testing for any reason, the driver will be informed that continued refusal will result in immediate i termination. • Employees will be asked to release any evidence relating to the observation for further testing. Failure to comply may subject the employee to subsequent discipline or suspension from driving duties. All _ confiscated evidence will be receipted for with signatures of both the \ t receiving supervisor, as well as the provider. If upon confrontation by the supervisor, the driver admits to use, the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator will terminate the employee, ' r ' C. The supervisor shall, with in 24 hours or before the results of the controlled substance test are released, document the particular facts related to the behavior or performance problems, and present such documentation y. to the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator. D. The Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator will remove or cause w . the removal of the driver from the County-owned vehicle and ensure that ; the driver is transported to an appropriate collection site and thereafter to " the driver's residence or, where appropriate, to a place of lodging. Under no circumstances will that driver be allowed to continue to drive a County vehicle or his/her own vehicle until a confirmed negative test result is received. E. If, during the course of employment, the driver acknowledges a t substance abuse problem and requests assistance, the problem may be treated as if it were an illness, subject to the provisions set forth below: Page 9 VOL-„~ AQF , a.. r 5 .r n❑.

Post-Accident Testing: Currently, federal regulations place the burden of compliance with post-accident alcohol and drug testing regulations on the driver. Therefore, all drivers are required to provide a breath test and a urine specimen to be tested for the use of controlled substances was soon as practicable" after an accident. The driver shall remain readily available for such testing or may be deemed by the Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator to have refused to submit to testing. No alcohol may be consumed for 8 hours after the accident or until a test is conducted. If the driver is seriously injured and cannot provide a specimen at the time of the accident, he/she shall provide the necessary authorization for obtaining hospital reports and other documents that would indicate whether there were any controlled substances in his/her system. An accident is defined by FHWA regulations as an accident which results in the death of a human being or bodily injury to a person who, as a result on the injury, immediately receives medical treatment away from the scene of the accident; or which has had one of the vehicles towed from the scene of the accident. Except for a fatality accident, verification of the driver's responsibility in the above accident scenario must be established by a citation to the driver. Adherence by drivers to post-accident specimen collection requirements is a condition of continued employment. (The failure of an owner-operator to comply with DOT post-accident and specimen collection rules will be considered a breach of his/her contract with the County, and the contract is invalid until appropriate substance abuse professional counseling hzs been completed.) , 3. Random Testing: The County will conduct random testing for all covered drivers'as follows: A. A County-wide selection process which removes discretion in selections from any supervisory personnel will be adopted by the county. Page 10 ' VU YAUh.

The random testing, once begun, will provide for alcohol testing of at least twenty-five percent (25%) and for drug testing of at least fifty percent (50%) of all covered drivers. C. The random testing will be reasonably spaced over any twelve (12) month period. D. Once notified, a driver must proceed immediately to the assigned collection site. ° 4. All supervisors will receive training to assist them in identifying alcohol and drug use behavioral characteristics. VI. COLLECTION OF BREATH AND URINE SPECIMENS AND LABORATORY ANALYSIS A. Breath Alcohol Testing: Breath alcohol testing will be conducted either on site or at a prearranged location by a qualified Breath Alcohol Technician according to CFR 49, Part 40 procedures. Refusal to complete and sign the testing form or refusal to provide breath will be considered a positive test, and the driver will be terminated. B. Specimen Collection: Specimen collection will be conducted in accordance with applicable state and federal law. The collection procedures will be designed to ensure the security and integrity of the specimen provided by each driver, and those procedures will strictly follow federal chain-of-custody guidelines. Moreover, every reasonable effort will be made to maintain the dignity of each F driver submitting a specimen for analysis in accordance with these procedures. C. Laboratory Analysis: As required by FHWA regulations, only a laboratory certified by Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to perform urinalysis for the detection of the presence of controlled substances will be ` retained by the County. The laboratory will be required to maintain strict compliance with federally approved chain-of-custody procedures, quality control, maintenance and scientific analytical methodologies.

Alcohol and drug abuse may not only threaten the safety and productivity of all employees of Brazos County, but causes serious individual health consequences to those who use them. Attachment #1 outlines several personal consequences which may result after abuse of controlled substances. Any confirmed actions prohibited by Part IV above, while performing a safety-sensitive function or refusing to take a breath test, will be grounds for termination. Refusal may be defined as not providing a breath sample or urine as directed, neglecting to sign appropriate control forms, using alcohol within 8 hours of an accident, or engaging in conduct that clearly obstructs the testing process. B. Any driver testing positive for the presence of a controlled substance will be contacted by the County's MRO. The driver will be allowed to explain and present medical documentation to explain any permissible use of a drug. All such discussions between the driver and the MRO will be confidential. The County will not be a party to, or have access to matters discussed between the driver and the MRO. If medically supportable reasons exist to explain the positive result, the MRO will report the test result to the County as a negative. C. Within 72 hours after the driver has been notified of a positive test result for drugs he/she may request a re-test of the split sample. This signed request will be provided to the MRO in writing, who will then initiate the new laboratory analysis. If a different result is detected by the subsequent laboratory, the test will be voided by the MRO, and the County's Alcohol and Drug Program Administrator will be notified. A retest may be initiated as appropriate. VIII. Confidentiality Under no circumstances, unless required or authorized by law, will alcohol and drug testing information or results for any employee or applicant be released without request from the applicable employee. Drivers are entitled, upon written request, to obtain copies of any records pertaining to the drivers use of alcohol or controlled substances, including any records pertaining to his or her alcohol or controlled substance tests. Copies will be provided within 5 days. Collection of breath and urine samples must always be documented and sealed with a tamper- proof sealing system in the presence of the driver, to insure that all tests can be correctly traced to the driver.

F. t 7 Y i { i APPENDIX A ALCOHOL AND DRUG EFFECTS Section 382.601(b)(I 1) FMCSR mandates that all employees be provided with training material discussing the effects of alcohol and controlled substance use on an individual's health, work, and personal life. This attachment is intended to help individuals understand the personal consequences of substance abuse. ALCOHOL Although used routinely as beverage for enjoyment, alcohol can also have negative physical and mood-altering effects when abused. These physical or mental altercations in a driver may have serious personal and public safety risks. , Health Effects An average of three or more servings per day of beer (12 oz.), whiskey (1 oz.), or wine (6 oz.) . . over time, may result in the following health hazards: • Dependency • Fatal liver disease • Kidney disease • Pancreatitis • Ulcers • Decreased sexual functions • Increased cancers of the mouth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, rectum, breast and malignant melanoma • Spontaneous abortion and neonatal mortality • Birth defects Social Issues . • 2/3 of all homicides are committed by people who drink prior to the crime. • 2-3% of the driving population are legally drunk at any one time. This rate doubles at night and on weekends. • 2/3 of all Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related vehicle accident during their lifetime. • The separation and'divorce rate in families with alcohol dependency problems is 7 , times the average. APPENDIX A-1 ya J • d.'>v. _.,s,. t5 ..,Y r•rr•1 1•nw L:: :u,.e, :t ALCOHOL'S TRIP THROUGH THE BODY R: I. Mouth and Esophagus: Alcohol is an irritant to the delicate linings of the throat and food pipe. 'It burns as it goes down. Stomach and Intestines: Alcohol has an irritating effect on the stomach's protective lining, resulting in gastric or duodenal ulcers. This condition, if it becomes acute, can cause peritonitis,' or perforation of the stomach wall. In the small intestine, alcohol blocks absorption of such substances as thiamine, folic acid, fat, vitamin B 1, vitamin B 12, and amino acids. Bloodstream: 95% of the alcohol taken into the body is absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the stomach and duodenum. Once in the bloodstream, alcohol quickly goes to every cell and tissue in the body. Alcohol causes red blood cells to clump together in sticky wads, slowing circulation and depriving tissues of oxygen. It also causes anemia by reduction of red blood cell production. Alcohol slows the ability of white cells to engulf and destroy bacteria and degenerates the clotting ability of blood platelets. Pancreas: Alcohol irritates the cells of the pancreas, causing them to swell, thus blocking the flow of digestive enzymes. The chemicals, unable to enter the small intestine, begin to digest the pancreas, leading to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis. One out of five patients who develop-this disease dies during the first attack. Pancreatitis can destroy the pancreas and cause a lack of insulin thus resulting in diabetes. Liver: Alcohol inflames the cells of the liver, causing them to swell and block the tiny canal to the small intestines. This prevents bile from being filtered properly through the liver. Jaundice develops, turning the whites of the eyes and the skin yellow. Each drink of alcohol increases the number of live cells destroyed, eventually causing cirrhosis of the liver. This disease is eight times more frequent among alcoholics than among non-alcoholics. r \ i. ,i• ,r i i; ` APPENDIX A-3 • f V ()/'~~ve.

The brain does not work as efficiently or effectively. Long-term brain damage may occur. • Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 60 other chemicals in Marijuana concentrate in the ovaries and testes. • Chronic smoking of marijuana in males causes a decrease in testosterone and an increase in estrogen, the female hormone. As a result, the sperm count is reduced, leading to temporary sterility. • Chronic smoking of marijuana in females causes a decrease in fertility. • A higher than normal incidence of stillborn births, early termination of pregnancy, and higher infant mortality rate during the first few days of life are common in pregnant marijuana smokers. • THC causes birth defects including brain damage, spinal cord, forelimbs, liver and water on the brain and spine in test animals. • Prenatal exposure may cause underweight newborn babies. • Fetal exposure may decrease visual functioning. • User's mental function can display the following effects: • delayed decision making • diminished concentration • impaired short-term memory • impaired signal detection • impaired tracking • erratic cognitive function • distortion of time estimation r r r 4 ~r f Opiates Narcotic drugs which alleviate pain and depress body functions and reactions: ` r Health Effe cts € • IV needle users have a high risk of contracting hepatitis or AIDS when sharing needles. • Increase pain tolerance.

In order to have a departure point for discussion and possible implementation, I will propose the following plan at the court meeting on January 14, 1997. A. X-Ray equipment for screening personal items should be either- purchased or x rented/purchased as soon as feasible. 4 B. Acquire walk-through metal detectors and all other ancillary equipment necessary for proper surveillance of personnel and material entering the courthouse. J C. Establish the entry poini beginning at the second set of doors leading into the y courthouse at the south entrance. ,A D. Move the reception desk north to align with the existing storage room. Communications equipment can be easily moved to the new location. Some minor modifications will be required on the desk/counter top in the new location. . :1 l E. Relocate the bell further north in the entry hall. F. Allow architect to determine the flow pattern and placement of the surveillance 4? equipment. ~I Smon Ca u* Coxem a 300 test 26th St. Suite 116 Bryan, Tess 778015327 I= (409) 8234993 V O ® PA~Mr'v., % c ;.s. .l ' ''11•.1,7"i rr!~` •~'J,j•i+~ ~J. r•' 41 I . , i . . • • i r t r t i i t I.

By so doing, persons coming to vote, attending commissioners court, attending receptions, etc. will not be required to process through the surveillance equipment. H. Equip all exterior doors inside the secure area with alarms that warn when those exits open. System to be monitored in the Sheriff's department. 1. All personnel entering and leaving the courthouse, except as may be required by the Sheriffs department, will use the controlled entry and exit point. O J. Provide personnel to operate the surveillance area from 749 a.m, to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except on days when the county offices are officially closed. Any extended hours for trials which require extended security will be coordinated by the Judge of that court with the Sheriffs department. Approximately 250 days of surveillance per year will be required. 250 days/yr. X 10 hrs/day = 2,976 hours Option #I - Hire three (3) personnel in the Sheriffs department and supplement as required during peak times (i.e., 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.) with other personnel from the Sheriffs department. Option #2 - Contract with a security agency to provide the services. K. Continue to study the advantages and disadvantages of strategically placed surveillance cameras with a decision date of September I, 1997 on Go or No-Go on installation. L. Monitor the operation of the system to determine if changes are needed. Target date for the decision process will be October 1, 1997. M. Determine by June 1, 1997 if employee photo ID badges can be used for entry without processing through the surveillance equipment. This process will greatly increase the speed of handling congestion during the peak periods and may allow for reduction of personnel needed to operate the system. N. Inactivate the single elevator in the lobby if necessary to accommodate equipment and ' personnel. , . ` , .try , . i rT 114P t .~_.v.. ~.....r.~+.~....~~........r..J..u..A...e...,..a.....v...,...i...i...L.~...+.r. r....... ►til .i..,.......r...+~...+..13a.t.a1~......:dL,rr+r....-L.......,..✓..o.~...~.....~.... - ..'l'.•.r .v,. .,r _ ,t: Y. :.V.V _ . k.'d .~i„ '.Y.iL-yi:T.+~ .-SY'r,•,,.' i ~ 1 ( ' Memo to Commissioners CC January 10, 1997 Page Three ' Y r 0.
