RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/325 revising the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Policy which will rescind and supersede Resolution No. 92/52.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the general fund.

BACKGROUND:

On November 8, 2016, California voters approved the Adult Use of Marijuana Act through the passage of Proposition 64, which legalized the use of recreational marijuana throughout the state. Proposition 64 affirmed the right of employers to continue to maintain a drug and alcohol free workplace, to prohibit the use of marijuana in the workplace, and to comply with federal and state laws concerning marijuana in the workplace. A review and revision of the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Policy was completed in light of the passage of Proposition 64.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employees may not understand that marijuana use, though legal in California, is prohibited by the County’s Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Policy.
