The Team's work has included reviewing the pay plan adjustments for the last five years, taking employee input, analyzing Consumer Price Index data, reviewing local and front range 1996 pay changes, and reviewing Colorado Municipal League pay studies. A new Employee Development Plan/Performance Review system has been developed for implementation in 1996; however, merit awards based on the new system will not be awarded until January 1997, if the Town Board approves. Since the old performance evaluation system is obsolete, the Pay Team recommends that no merit-based pay increases be given for 1996. Our recommendations are: 1. 4.0% across-the-board increase for all employees; raise pay ranges 5.0% to adjust for market. 2. 0.25% pool for incentive awards to be administered by the Town Administrator.

The Town of Estes Park has 27 drivers with CDLs. Town Attorney White has prepared a policy which follows the federal regulations. The policy was based on a sample policy prepared by CIRSA as a guide. The major points of the policy are summarized below: 1. The policy applies only to the Town's 27 CDL drivers, or to future employees required to have a CDL as part of their employment. CDLs are required for large trucks, transit vehicles, or vehicles hauling hazardous materials. 2. Drug and alcohol testing will be done before employment begins (drugs only), following an accident involving a death or moving violation, whenever "reasonable suspicion" of use exists, and randomly during the year. 25% of the drivers will be randomly tested for alcohol and 50% for drugs each year. 3. Alcohol testing is by use of a testing device known as an Evidentiary Breath Testing Device (EBT). This device must meet strict federal certification regulations, be calibrated, and be operated by trained technicians. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.02 or greater would violate the policy. The testing site is not know at this time, but may be a mobile unit. 4. Drug testing is from urine specimens collected under highly controlled conditions. Drug testing is limited to marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine. The testing site will probably be the Estes Park Medical Center. 5. If a positive test for alcohol or drugs occurs, the employee will be placed on administrative leave without pay until return-to-duty testing is completed. Substance abuse professionals, counseling, and follow-up testing may be used if necessary. If the BAC level for alcohol is 0.02 to 0.04, the employee is sent home for at least 24 hours. If the level is 0.04 or greater, or if positive (303) 586-5331 • RO. BOX 1 200 • ESTES PARK, CO 80517 • FAX (303) 586-0249 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT • FAX (303) 586-6909 OTHER
