The commission directed staff to draft a <br /> tobacco policy similar to the City of Elk River. <br /> Our current policy is No Smoking in utilities building. Smoking is allowed in utility vehicles <br /> unless an employee objects. Chewing tobacco is not directly addressed, but employees do use <br /> good judgment and do not offend anybody. To date, the existing policy has worked well. <br /> The proposed policy is as follows and is more in line with the City policy: <br /> SMOKE & TOBACCO FREE POLICY <br /> In an effort to provide a healthy, comfortable and productive working environment for <br /> Utility employees, the Elk River Municipal Utilities provides a non-smoking/non- <br /> tobacco work environment. All Utility facilities, including vehicles, shall be smoke and <br /> tobacco free. <br /> Employees violating the above policy may be subject to disciplinary action. <br />
