[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of the Town of Lincoln 3-16-1999
by Ord. No. 99-2 (Ch. 12, Art. VI, of the 1990 Code of Ordinances).
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to make employees accountable for the
use of Town-owned vehicles, to ensure the appropriate use and prevent abuse
of said vehicles.
All Town of Lincoln vehicles must be identified by the application to
the doors of said vehicles of decals depicting the Town Seal. The only exceptions
to this rule will be vehicles assigned to the Town Administrator, Police Chief
and Police Detective Division.
If Town-owned vehicles are to be taken home on an inactive basis, said
vehicles are not to be used for personal gain or use and will remain parked
at the employee's residence until the employee is recalled to active duty.
A.
At the beginning and end of each cycle of official usage,
each vehicle is to be logged in by date, time, mileage-out and amount of fuel,
if fueled, with preventative maintenance also required to be listed.
B.
Each vehicle must be inspected by its driver at the beginning
of a workday assignment, including oil, water, batteries, fuel and a walk-around
inspection for any discrepancies in the exterior, including tires.
C.
Use of daily preventative maintenance log sheets are
required in triplicate form to record all of the above requirements; one copy
to the driver, one to the Town highway garage office files and one to remain
in the vehicle.
Any abuse of Town vehicles by Town employees will subject said employees
to disciplinary action up to and including time off or dismissal.
This chapter may be amended at times for improvements only.
