An employee's involvement with drugs and alcohol can adversely affect job performance, jeopardize an employee's well-being, and undermine the professional stature of the City.

Accordingly, the use, possession, transportation, or sale of drugs or alcohol by anyone while on the City's property or on City business is strictly prohibited.
