DESIGNATED ASSIGNMENT OF UNASSIGNED CITY HALL VEHICLES
DEFINITION
An unassigned City Hall vehicle is a sedan or other vehicle which is used
by the City during working hours as a departmental pool vehicle.
PURPOSE
The City Council has selected the following as a method for contributing
to cleaner air and reduced parking demand in the immediate City Hall
vicinity.
POLICY
The City will periodically identify and make available certain unassigned
departmental pool vehicles to individual City employees to be used, on a
restricted basis; solely for the purpose of commuting to and from work.
The method of determining who will be selected for this privilege will be
made on the basis of the following factors:
1. The distance between the employee's home and City Hall.
2. The number of employees an employee can arrange into a car
pool.
3. The driving record of the employee.
4. The employees seniority with the City.
PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION
The City will post an announcement within the City Hall facilities located
at 3300 Newport Boulevard advising employees of a vehicle's availability.
Employees interested in using this vehicle for the above stated purpose
shall bid for its assignment. The elements of the bid should include the
exact distance the employee's home is from City Hall and the names of the
employees who will be included in the daily car pool. The City's
representative will consider the bide submitted and will select the
employees with good driving records who can organize the largest pool that
lives closest to City Hall. In the event of a tie, the City
representative will select in favor of the employee who has the earliest
seniority date. Once selected, the designated employee will sign a
contract with the City that identifies that employee as an authorized
operator of that vehicle and also spells out the use restrictions. The
contract will further require the designated employee to list, by name,
the members of their car pool. Should members of the car pool change, the
employee is required to advise the City of those changes as they become
effective.
