11.42.070 Employees (classified and unclassified) assigned vehicles on a permanent basis.
A. Justification. Department managers may assign county vehicles to individual employees on a permanent basis where there is a substantial frequent re-occurring need to respond to emergency situations or other county business after normal working hours, based on one of the following criteria:
1. The employee must respond to emergencies which require immediate attention during off-duty hours for the protection of persons and/or property specifically requiring their presence in a supervisory or technical capacity. Such emergencies must require immediate travel to the emergency scene, for a six-consecutive-month average of at least three calls per month; or
2. The employee is required to respond to county business outside of normal working hours on a reoccurring basis with substantial frequency. In such cases the department head shall make a written finding which shall be filed with the County Auditor that the assignment of the vehicle to an employee is in the best interest of the county;
3. Resident Deputy-Sheriffs and resident Deputy Probation Officers;
4. As assigned by the Board of Supervisors.
B. List of Assignments. The department manager shall submit, as they are assigned, a list of all employees who have a vehicle assigned to them on permanent retention to the Board of Supervisors.
C. Board Review. The Board of Supervisors may review and take action on any assignment on a permanent retention, or lack thereof, as they deem appropriate. (Ord. 994, eff. 2/21/08; Ord. 850, eff. 4/17/97)
