In addition, applicants selected for appointment are subject to a Department of Motor Vehicles check of driver’s license record for the past 7 years. Conviction of DUI, other traffic offenses, or other crimes will not necessarily result in non-selection of the position, but may result in a conditional appointment to the position.

City employees in positions which require the operation of a City vehicle shall be subject to annual background checks. Conviction of serious or multiple traffic offenses during non-work time while driving a non-City vehicle will not necessarily result in an employee being terminated from employment, but may result in the employee being required to comply with special terms and conditions for continued employment with the City.
