Falls City Administrator Gary Jorn
(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council has approved a new policy to include all city employees in the random drug testing program.
City Administrator Gary Jorn calls it a “catch-all” policy to make sure that all city employees are covered by a drug-testing program. The new policy will include the Cemetery workers, Parks employees, the Water Department, Police Department and Library employees. All other workers are already covered under union contracts.
Jorn says city employees are included in a pool and from the pool, names are selected randomly by computer to be tested.
Mayor Jerry Oliver reported the new water well project is progressing. He said there is already 50 feet of water in the well hole. The water will need to be drained so the well work can be completed.
Jorn also said the interior demolition of the former City Hall building is going well, noting that at last check nearly all of the wall coverings had been removed and the suspended ceilings had been removed.
The Council also approved a utility easement between the City and Richardson County located approximately 4 miles west of Falls City and south of Highway 8 known as Coons Corner. The easement is to allow the City to provide a power line to a new oil well.
