Rules and Regulations

Purpose:

To provide temporary quarters for Elko District seasonal and career seasonal employees.

ELKO DISTRICT ADDITIONAL HOUSING - RULES AND REGULATIONS

As a tenant of Alternate Government Provided housing, you are required to follow the same standards set by the Elko District BLM for the RMHS barracks and out stations. In addition, as a tenant, it is your responsibility to learn and become familiar with the Rules and Regulations set by the provider. Living in government provided housing is a privilege which comes with working on the Elko District and in no way is Elko District obligated to provide housing. As such, violation of rules or standards can and may result in eviction from the housing provided.

Alcohol:

The BLM complies with all federal, state and municipal regulations regarding the sale, possession and consumption of alcohol. In keeping with Nevada state law, only residents who are 21 years old or older may consume alcoholic beverages. The quantity of alcohol that may be brought into a room or a legal aged resident is a quantity that would contribute to responsible personal use.

Beer kegs, party balls, or a bulk container, which promotes excessive alcohol consumption, which may lead to a community disruption, is not permitted.

The misuse and the abuse of alcohol are the primary contributing factors to the behavioral problems in residence halls. The effects of alcohol misuse and abuse include excessive noise, interpersonal conflict, and vandalism. This policy is designed to, first assist the resident who, through the misuse or abuse of alcohol, is violating the community, and second, to protect the community from the effect of a resident who continues to misuse or abuse alcohol.

Standard Operation Procedures

Upon initial alcohol related violation, the security and/or management personnel from the FOS will warn the resident.

Upon a second alcohol related violation, the resident will be reported to Bureau of

Land Management for appropriate action and or discipline.

Upon a third alcohol related violation, the resident will be asked to vacate their accommodations at the barracks and will forfeit all pre-paid fees and deposits.

BLM reserves the right to report any misconduct to the appropriate authorities for resolution.

While this policy is structured in a step-by-step sequence to provide the resident with an opportunity to learn from their choices, the BLM staff and management retains the right to respond to the resident at whatever level and in whatever manner is appropriate given the context of the situation.

Controlled Substance Violation Response Policy

The Nevada Revised Statutes relative to drug offenses are very strict. Possession of the smallest measurable amount is considered to be a felony.

Any suspected use, possession, distributing or manufacturing of controlled substances will result in immediate termination of the housing agreement with all fees and deposits forfeited. The resident will be referred to the appropriate personnel at Bureau of Land Management for disciplinary action in regard to their status. All substantiated allegations will be reported to the appropriate legal authorities.

The BLM maintains a No Tolerance policy in regard to controlled substances.

I have read this contract and agree to the above requirements.
