BAKERSFIELD THE SOUND OFbeh,?Am f Ve* MEMORANDUM TO: Miscellaneous Civil Service Board FROM: Christi Tenter, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: Temporary Waiver and Extension of Minimum Qualifications DATE: January 19, 2021 Following the issuance of stay-at-home orders in March of 2020 the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") ceased in -office appointments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the DMV has provided the following guidance for current license renewals: "All commercial driver's licenses, endorsements, and certificates expiring March 2020 -February 2021 have an extension valid through February 28, 2021. The extension is the some for commercial license holders both under and over the age of 70." - htfps://www.dmv.ca.gov/iportal/covid- I 9-relief-information/driver-license- extensions/ Many established blue-collar classifications require the successful obtainment of a commercial driver's license. This is a minimum qualification of the position included in the approved job specification. Obtainment of the license is usually required within the first 6 -months, or 1 -year, following appointment. This requirement has historically been strictly adhered to. At the April 21, 2020 meeting of the Civil Service Board for Miscellaneous Departments a motion was made, and approved, to provide a temporary waiver for the license requirement. Since that time, the DMV has offered limited in person services and many by appointment only due to the COVID - 19 Pandemic. One could estimate that the current extension may exceed the published date of February 28, 2021. Staff recommends extending the temporary waiver period to obtain required license(s) for a period three (3) months post license, endorsements and certificate extension and/or reinstatement of DMV commercial license renewal services.
