physical and mental health. The illegal possession and use of drugs, alcohol and/or

narcotics by employees of the City is a crime in this jurisdiction and is clearly

unacceptable. Therefore, the City of Johnson City has adopted this written policy to

ensure an employee’s fitness for duty as a condition of employment; to ensure the

drug tests and alcohol tests are conducted on safety-sensitive positions in the

categories of: pre-employment, random testing, suspicion testing, and return-to-duty

testing.

do service with the City must have a testing program of the same or better than the

requirements of the City of Johnson City.
